This is simply where UD puts things it's working on: print jobs (PRT*), active select lists (usually u*??), SB+ transfers (if you use network), and I think the output from capturing and returning on an execute. If things work properly and are allowed to complete normally, there should be nothing in here if no one is logged in. Generally, I see large select lists and print jobs where the user got tired of waiting and killed the session not allowing it to clean up after itself.
If no one is logged in or UD is stopped it is safe to clear. Otherwise anything with a timestamp prior to the earliest login date/time is safe to clear. I haven't seen it cause a problem with logouts - but then I've never seen quite so much stuff in there before (usually it's a print job stuck in a loop that hammers all of the space on the drive). I'd be tempted to see how many are from the last couple of weeks when the problems started and where they are coming from - any text viewer should work - just watch the file sizes. Good luck Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Amy Cook I'm assuming if UniData is stopped...that it's ok to clear the temp directory? There are files in there from last year, so if something is supposed to be cleaning them up (I mean something besides me....) it doesn't appear to be. (it's now on my checklist!) Cool, at least this gives me something to try tonight...i had run out of ideas to troubleshoot. I'll stop unidata, clear temp, start unidata, do my mutli-session udt testing...all with no one else on and nothing else running. Plus then once I've disconnected, I can see what's hanging out in temp in case that tells me anything. Thanks for everyone's input! I'll report back tomorrow... Amy -----Original Message----- From: Kevin King Yeah, that's exactly what I'm asking. If you restart Unidata, that *should *be cleared or at least reduced, but if not, I would wonder why it's so dang full...?
