I. e. it should remove them as soon as the sessions are actually closed. Otherwise, if you log out, they merely go into state "closing", and wait until all remaining processes are going away. If you start screen sessions or other background jobs, they'll stay around for those.

The files are 240-260 bytes, but there are many As per default install, /run is on tmpfs with 50 MB size. After a couple of days, /run/ runs out of free space, which can cause not so funny errors, like failed kernel update (kernel postinst tries to create files here, then fails) As I see, thesefiles are releated to ssh sesssions, and yes there are plenty SSH connection to this host. Shouldn't systemd remove these old session files? # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 # apt-cache policy systemd systemd: Installed: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Candidate: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Version table: *** 208-8ubuntu8.2 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 208-8ubuntu8 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1426362/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
