to anyone who can assist
generally after an splus session i delete the MySwork directory
via rm -rf MySwork
when i restart splus, splus recreates the MySwork directory and all
subdirectories underneath it, namely __Help, __Hhelp,
__Meta and __Shelp.
splus also recreates two files called .Audit which contains the
following
#~New session: Version: S Mon May 17 02:53:20 PDT 1999,
Time: Thu Nov 15 16:00:24 2001
#~
q()
#~End session: Time: 1005811227; Process: 10357
and sometimes a file called last.dump which contained
ble
my question is does Splus require any of these two files in order to
work. in the past after i finished an splus session i simply deleted
all the material in /MySwork/.Data using rm * .*
i then returned to my login directory and deleted all my data files
etc using rm * .* again.
i just want to know if this affects splus in terms of it working
properly. normally now i just delete the entire MySwork directory
and subdirectories after ending a session using rm -rf MySwork
and delete all my data files using rm * .* in my login directory as
described above in order not to fill up my quota (i log in to
machines in another department).
i suppose in essence my question is does splus require these files
namely .Audit and last.dump in order to work properly. i have no
idea what these files actually do.
i should say that i do not have root access to splus, i merely log in
as a extraneous user and start it in my login directory my typing
splus. i am using Version 5.1 Release 1 for Linux 2.0.31 : 1999.
can anyone offer any commentry ??
thanks
