Re: MPQS not cleaning up files |
Pari Dev, I hope my primary point has not been forgotten. There was *no* documentation that 'gp' would create these temporary files and thus, when they suddenly appeared in the '/tmp' directory, it was a big puzzle how they came to be created. This is the situation that I was objecting to. The suprise factor due to lack of clear and easily available documentation of an important behavior of 'gp' under situations that might easily arise in normal use, or even otherwise. Once, the source of the files is known, they can easily be deleted with no real concern. It is otherwise when the source is unknown. Shalom, Michael
