Hi all, Sorry, my problem is probably not Debian specific... I tried to run under slink with the 2.0.36 kernel the following program:
#define RUN "/tmp/.rem.run" #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> main() { open(RUN, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR); printf("File created\n"); sleep(30); unlink(RUN); printf("File removed\n"); sleep(30); printf("Finish\n"); } After the message "File created" I can see that there is a file .rem.run in /tmp directory. After "File removed" that file disappears. But according to unlink man page it should exist up to the message "Finish" because it is not closed. Only after terminating the program kernel closes all open files and .rem.run should be removed. Does anybody have an idea what's going on here? Thanks! -- Tad
