Well, if you think of it, it's not a very strange idea: - You can simply get rid of /var/run/utx.active. There's no need for this to be written to disk. It can just stay in memory. - You can use devd to track the destruction of TTYs, so you can automatically garbage collect stale entries for pseudo-terminals. Right now a `killall -9 xterm' may leave stale entries behind. - The other files aren't _that_ big. On FreeBSD, utx.log only stores entries for the last month. Especially if you implement getutxid()/getutxuser() as separate calls, much of the filtering is already done by the daemon. -- Ed Schouten <e...@80386.nl> _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
