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:

'/var/opt/SUNWut/displays/37' for reading.

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.
Cheers

Hi Christian,
I used to run Red Hat and remember those scripts. My suggestion would be
to edit the cron script to exclude the folder '/tmp/SUNWut' and all the
sub files/folders. I'm pretty sure this can be done. If you post the
script cron runs, I may be able to help you with this.
