I don't understand this behavior at all. I have a script that has an 'enscript' command in it. I also have several text files saving things like $0, $1 for testing purposes. These text files are saved to /tmp so far ok but now i find that even after deleting those /tmp files if i even run another enscript command, (without any saving of files to /tmp) then those previously deleted files in /tmp reappear! ls -l shows them to have a new time stamp but the text data therein is clearly the old stuff. Is /tmp a bad place to store stuff? How can I permanently get rid of such files? and/or avoid doing this trick again? thanks for any clues/ guidelines Jack ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
