=dbus-?????????? files

[balanga]

Anyone know anything about files in /tmp/which are named =dbus.??????????

I have about 20, most of which have been around since 2020.

I don't know for sure but I'd assume that those are the sockets that DBus creates.

Real men clear /tmp on every boot using clear_tmp_enable="YES" ?
Alternatively there is dbus-cleanup-sockets(1).

Or use tmpfs(5) for /tmp and regularly reboot.

Until you fire up some software which literally dumps gigabytes of data into /tmp on import/export actions (happened to me).

I use this on every configuration

I have this enabled too since I started testing periodic, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. I'm trying to figure out why but not making any progress.

Thanks for pointing this out, although I'm surprised that the periodic command 110.clean_tmps does not handle this.

I though it could be easily handled by the addition of a find . -type s line where it is searching for files to delete, but maybe I'm being too simplistic not understanding how the program works...

Am I correct in assuming that the daily periodic routine 110.clean-tmps should clean out all files older than a specific number of days?

If so, shouldn't any =dbus-????? files get removed?

Or is the cleanout working as designed?
