Screen does not wipe stale sockets in /var/run/screen/* on boot. It's not very important, but it's nice to have the feature, if it's possible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect to server with: ssh -t login@host "screen -dR" 2. Enter `reboot` Actual Results: After server reboot you'll have stale files in /var/run/screen. Expected Results: And it'll be a bit better if there will be no stale sockets there.
Set add it to /etc/conf.d/bootmisc.
Socket directory is hardcoded at compilation time and defaults to /var/run/screen or /usr/tmp/screens, so it's not cleaned with WIPE_TMP. Let's try to override it with environment variable. $ SCREENDIR=/tmp/screen screen Cannot access /tmp/screen: No such file or directory So WIPE_TPM will wipe /tmp/screen at reboot and it's not a solution. $ SCREENDIR=/tmp screen Directory /tmp must have mode 700. So settings it to /tmp is not solution too. Seems, bug is not resolved, so I reopen it (if I'm wrong, state that, please, I'm new to gentoo bugzilla)
# cat /etc/conf.d/bootmisc # /etc/conf.d/bootmisc # Put a nologin file in /etc to prevent people from logging in before # system startup is complete DELAYLOGIN="no" # List of /tmp directories we should clean up WIPE_TMP_DIRS="/tmp" # Should we wipe the tmp paths completely or just selectively remove known # locks / files / etc... ? WIPE_TMP="yes"
Latest x86 (not ~x86) version of sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.9-r2 does not include this feature. What version of baselayout do you have?
2.0.0_rc6; you can either upgrade or do this in /etc/conf.d/local.start; screen itself can't wipe anything at boot obviously.
Yes, it can't, I know that. I posted this feature-request only because I've seen separate init.d script to wipe stale sockets in other distros. Thank you.
