Gurus, as a heads up for those who run SRSS on RedHat Advanced Server:
RHAS installs a cron job called tmpwatch that is run daily at 4.20 in the morning that deletes all files that have not been accessed since 10 days. This destroys the state file in /tmp/SUNWut/config/displays/<DISPLAY> exactly 10 days after login because these files are obviously never touched again after the login (or their atime is not updated). This leads to log messages like the following: <quote> Jun 17 04:02:15 lxray utxconfig: Error: could not open file '/var/opt/SUNWut/displays/37' for reading. Jun 17 04:02:16 lxray utauthd: SessionManager0 NOTICE: EMPTY: ACTIVE session Jun 17 04:02:16 lxray utauthd: Terminator NOTICE: DISCONNECT IEEE802.0003ba8b92ef, pseudo.0003ba8b92ef session terminated Jun 17 04:02:16 lxray utauthd: SessionManager0 NOTICE: TERMINATE: ACTIVE sessionJun 17 04:02:16 lxray utauthd: Terminator NOTICE: DESTROY pseudo.0003ba8b92ef lifetime=950402814 </quote> I have disabled the line that starts tmpwatch for /tmp in /etc/cron.daily and the logouts and the error messages have gone away but I think it would be better to periodically update the atime of these files because cleaning up /tmp is "A Good Thing" (tm). This could be done with a cron job but I am not sure if utxconfig relies on the time stamps of these files.
