New files filling up /tmp: stdInFifo, stdOutFifo, stdErrFifo
by hpfeil from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BEAB)
After the Great vtown-->current/kde Rollout of Aught-Twenty, new files are accumulating in /tmp. Like Thunderbird's /tmp/ns*, a bad-form design flaw somewhere fails to clean up its temporary files in their class destructor. So far,
stdInFifo5NL
stdInFifoK3h
stdInFifobmp
stdInFifoyXg
with their matching stdOut and stdErr cohorts are accumulating, never purged. which new package is generating them and why aren't they ever deleted sans sysadmin intervention?
They are all zero-length file type 'p' - named pipes.
