Okay, to find out what files are using these, go into your directory, and use the fuser command.
So, for me... cd /tmp/orbit-ockman fuser * give me quite a few...here are the first two: orb-13076214721085093349: 1533 orb-13240275601413802650: 1484 then using ps ax I see that process 1533 is gnome-terminal and 1484 is panel. So that explains what processes are creating the files! -Sam On Fri, Sep 27, 2002 at 09:23:54PM +1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Indeed , but i am as curious as before (perhaps because of lack of > knowledge ) my question stands : what is the cause and is this a virus ? > > > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: > > > > yes, indeed, using: > > > > rpm -q ORBit --provides | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -q --whatrequires > > > > I got all kinds of stuff (76 different packages) > > > > > From: "Arthur Chan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 19:42:12 -0400 > > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Subject: Re: Is this a virus : "/tmp/orbit-<blabla>" > > > > > > rpm -q ORBit --provides | awk '{print $1}' | xargs rpm -q --whatrequires > > > > -- > > redhat-list mailing list > > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe > > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- Sam Ockman, Chairman and CEO Tel: 415-358-2600 Fax: 415-896-6742 Toll Free: 888-PENGUIN Penguin Computing - The World's Most Reliable Linux Systems www.penguincomputing.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
