The client needs to know that some program is still using the slot directory. stderrgfx.txt isn't a perfect solution to the problem but I don't think there is any other mechanism to do it. I don't think the client really knows about graphics apps other than being some extra files it needs to download.
I suppose a better solution would be using memory mapped files to communicate between science app and graphics app but that would be API change. In other words, I think it's better to keep stderrgfx.txt for now. -Juha On 28 September 2017 at 00:54, David E Kim <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I’ll probably disable that. > > > On Sep 27, 2017, at 2:51 PM, Charlie Fenton <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > On Sep 27, 2017, at 12:49 PM, Juha Sointusalo <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I did see that the graphics app opens stderrgfx.txt file in slot > directory > >> and keeps it open as long as the graphics are open. > > > > That is not terribly useful, since it will be gone after the slot > directory is cleaned.
