11965N/AThe &cmd; command cleans up unused D\-Bus connection sockets.
15985N/AIf given no arguments, <
command>&cmd;</
command> cleans up sockets in the
15985N/Astandard default socket directory for the per-user-login-session message bus;
15985N/Athis is usually <
filename>/tmp</
filename>. Optionally, you can pass a
15985N/Adifferent directory on the command line.
11965N/AOn Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D\-Bus defaults to using
15985N/A"abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and do not have a
15985N/Acorresponding file in <
filename>/tmp</
filename>.
11965N/AOn most other flavors of UNIX, it is possible for the socket files to leak when
11965N/Aprograms using D\-Bus exit abnormally or without closing their D\-Bus
15985N/Aconnections. Thus, it might be interesting to run <
command>&cmd;</
command> in a
15985N/Acron job to clean up any leaked sockets. Or you can just ignore the leaked
15985N/Asockets, they are not really hurting anything, other than cluttering the
11965N/A<
filename>/tmp</
filename> directory.
