    Hi,

    Still trying to investigate the memory leak in the thread "My
    thoughts confirmed", and I'm trying to find where the flash-plug-in
    stores it's temp files.

    I've looked in /tmp and can see nothing that looks like a .flv video
    (or part of) and I can see nothing in /home/pete/.mozilla or
    /home/pete/.adobe

    Does anyone know where it downloads it's cache to?

    Or is there a CLI way of following the data (the tail command looks
    promising but I don't know what to tail!)


I seem to recall that swf files are cached in their browser config
directory but also that they're compiled to bytecode so you might not be
able to identify them.

The best command tool to start with would be lsof, which should show you
open files. I have a feeling that you might find that a plugin library
is causing the problem but that it runs inside the browser so isn't
visible to the OS.
