Just noticed there are really a lot of configtest files in my /tmp directory.

Code: Select all

 for t in files links directories; do echo `find . -maxdepth 1 -type ${t:0:1} | wc -l` $t; done 2> /dev/null
5172 files
0 links
10 directories

Code: Select all

Where do they originate from? One of the last updates? Can I delete them safely? Shouldn't this be rotated or cleaned up automatically somehow?

[tgriep]

Could you post one if the files so we can see what is in it?

[WillemDH]

Hmm weird. seems they are all gone. Really. Please close. Next time I'll open one. Bit stupid I didnt do it in the first place, but I was a bit busy..

[bwallace]

Thanks for that update, we'll go ahead and close this one out.
