I use a program called transcribe. It's a python program for playing back audio files for transcription purposes. The company from which I get assignments requires that I delete the audio files when I've finished the work, since the material is usually confidential. I do this by deleting the audio file from the directory in which I had stored it, and then deleting it from the Trash folder.
Sometimes this program (transcribe) gets confused. I start playing a new audio file, and I hear an old one along with the one. I discovered that when I closed transcribe "yesterday" the program did not completely quit. I use ps ax | grep transcribe and discover three entries (one of which is the grep process). So, I shut down the instance of transcribe I can see, and then use kill to shut down the other instance. Running ps ax | grep transcribe returns the reference to itself. My question relates to the audio source for the errant instance of transcribe. How do I go about locating that file? Was it even a file, or was it buffered in memory somewhere, and killing the instance removed it? This is mostly so I can affirm that I have deleted the audio completely from my computer. Thanks for any clues. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
