/var/tmp not getting cleaned out...

This might not exactly apply to the Finder, Dock or Dashboard but it is file maintenance, and I don't see a closer match.
I've noticed that my /var/tmp directory has a lot of files that are pretty old. There's 3 directories there that seem to be written to daily...those I wouldn't touch... But there's a whole bunch of files that are named things like: 4568943754a6d... around 56M worth each is ~1.5M
Why are these not getting automatically cleaned up? Is there a limit to this directory that could be causing me issues. I have several but I don't dare mention them here for fear of being told to open a new post
Thanks!

Hi again
does the '3 days ago' actually set the time? so '1 week ago' would be valid too?Ah, was afraid you might ask that
'3 days ago' does "set the time" as you say. '1 week ago' might work, but the man pages are not particularly helpful on what works and what doesn't. The find man page refers you to the cvs man page, which says:
However, cvs currently accepts a wide variety of other date formats. They are intentionally not documented here in any detail, and future versions of cvs might not accept all of them.But that gives an example of "1 hour ago" being valid, so I tried a few variations
wacking whole directories scares me... especially since there are live directories in here that I think shouldn't be deleted... can I take this part out?Yes, you can leave out the complete second "find" command if you wish. But applications shouldn't leave files or folders lying around in /tmp or /var/tmp and expect them to still be there when they come back!
excuse my ignorance what language is this?This is the Bourne Shell or more accurately bash. You can try reading the man page, but if you're interested I think you'd find an introductory shell scripting book a lot more readable!
My weekly hasn't run since Nov 18th but the Monthy and daily both say Dec 1st!!!No problem. My weekly hasn't run since Nov 15th. It will eventually get run, after about a week of cpu time (not sleeping).
Now that the periodic scripts are managed by launchd, rather than cron, they do eventually get run. Unless you are running a busy server with hundreds of users, rotating the log files is no big deal with today's typical disk sizes.

User temp tables not getting cleaned out from tempdb?

Im seeing what looks like temp tables that are hanging around in tempdb and not getting cleaned out.
This is SQL 2008
SELECT * FROM tempdb.sys.objects so WHERE name LIKE('#%') AND DATEDIFF(hour,so.create_date,GETDATE()) > 12
Im seeing about 50 or so objects that get returned and they are user_table and some of them have create dates of several days in the past. Now I know users do not run processes that take that long, so why are these objects still hanging around?
TempDB gets reset after a server restart, but other than that, how long are these things going to hang around?

A local temporary table scope exists only for the duration of a user session or the procedure that created the temporary table. When the user logs off or the procedure that created the table completes, the local temporary table is lost.

Transaction logs not getting cleaned up

I'm using Directory Server v5.2 on Windows 2000 and we encountered a situation over the weekend where our server ran out of disk space (5GB Drive w/ 1.3 DB free at the start of the test). When I looked in the slapd-mydir\db directory, it was filled w/ over 900 log.00000xxx files totalling 1.3GB in size. (About 10K each).
These are the transaction logs I believe and I do not see why they are not getting cleaned up.
Restarting slapd did not fix it. And deleting those files causes the directory server to complain vigorously about missing log files.
Every other server in our lab I checked did not have this problem - only this one. Any thoughts on how this can happen and what one can do about it? We are running w/ default attributes and settings for transaction logging.
We are now having to completely re-install this server.

Hi, I�d like to know how as you solved this problem.

HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

Not getting print out of PO

Dear all,
I am not getting print out of PO. In the message out put, the config ( NACE , MN04 ) and as well as all setting are correct. in FURTHER DATA tab, the despatch option id 4 : Send immediately ( when saving the application) ; but it is not generating any spool request for print out. i have checked in SP01 and SP02 , but I could not find out any spool request. More interesting, with the existing config and message setting , we were getting print out till one day ago but presently it is not working.
Hoping for corrective solution.
Regards,
Partha

IPhone, can not get it out of Auto-lock

On occasions once my 3g Iphone has gone into autolock I am unable to use the phone again. I can not get it out of auto lock, I have tried restarting but it maskes no difference.
I often have to ring it from another phone to bring the Iphone back to life, which is rather annoying and I am not always by another avaliable phone.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix this? Thanks

Have you tried reset (page 34 of the manual)?

[IDS CS3 WIN] .tmp and .idlk files not getting cleaned up

I'm using a C# Soap client with CS3 Server on Windows. My script is opening a template file, importing a tagged file, then saving an ID document and generating a PDF file. The script closes the document before quiting, but I'm seeing a trail of .idlk and .tmp files left behind on the server.
Example: I'm starting with the following files... importTemplate.indd and importTest.txt. The script opens importTemplate.indd, imports importTest.txt and creates importTest.indd and importTest.pdf, then closes the document.
For testing purposes, these files are all located in the same location. What I see in the directory after the script has run (successfully) now includes the following:
tes493.tmp
~importtemplate~uvw2ve.idlk
~importtest~borbth.idlk
~importtest~myhstu.idlk
I am closing the document with the following:
app.documents.item(0).close(SaveOptions.no);
I could understand if the document wasn't getting closed that I would see one .idlk file, but why 3?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I have a disk in my mac and came not get it out? I use the command E key to eject but it does note come out?

I have a disk in my mac but it does note come out useing command e to eject? how do i get it out or do I have to get it jixed?

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

How can I use CS4 on 2 computers and not get locked out

I have CS4 on 1 computer and plan to install it on a 2nd computer. If I send work from computer 1 to computer 2, can I work on it on computer 2 and then return to computer 1 and work on it? In the past I have had trouble getting locked out when I have tried to work on the same webpage on 2 computers. I use IE 7 & 8, firefox, and HX pro. Note, I would not be working on the 2 computers at the same time.
Adobe help has advised me not to try what I've described above, but isn't this what Contribute should be able to do?
Thanks for your help.

My ipod when charging randomly when bumped does a charging not supported and I have to unplug and replug cable into ipod a few times to get it working. the 30pin connector on ipod side is pretty dirty and the dust is sorta caked on. how should i get it out? People that used compressed air said it blew dust behind their screen! help!

Dry, hard toothbrush?
Sometimes just plugging-unplugging the connector a few times helps.

I can not get sound out of the HDMI output on my mac mini. happened before after unpluging headphone and had to change some hrz number.

I have had this problem before. I just cant remember how I fixed it. I am not getting any sound from the HDMI output. Everything is selected properly and volumes are set correctly. Last time I had to change a megahrz thing and thats where I am stumped.
