Thanks mark for the response. I am not sure why the tomcat is not doing the auto clean up. But we did try using the deleteonexithook approach but that introduces its own set of problems. Is there a recommendation to clean up the folder while the tomcats are running ? as we don’t stop and restart the services very often.
The reason I asked this question is that post us enabling this task we could see an increase CPU usage with JVM waits on compilation happening and we cant corelate it to this task but that was the only change before the problem started. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, February 7, 2025 3:42 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Reg: Tomcat temp file deletion Attention! - This email has originated from an External Source outside of eClinicalWorks.

It may be possible to delete some files safely - although that begs the question why isn't Tomcat deleting them itself once they are no longer needed. > It required to restart the tomcats post deletion of the files in tomcat/temp > folder or should it be deleted only post stopping the tomcat service ? The safe way is: - stop Tomcat - empty temp - start Tomcat Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE TO RECIPIENT: This transmission contains confidential information belonging to the sender that is legally privileged and proprietary and may be subject to protection under the law, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
