* lynx temporary files @ Janina Sajka ` Adam Myrow ` Richard Villa 0 siblings, 2 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: Janina Sajka @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup, blinux-list-bounces, ma-linux I have a problem with lynx. It's writing temporary files in my $HOME (as opposed to something more appropriate like /tmp), but I can't find why. I'd like to fix this--but can't find what to tweak. Does anyone know? Here's what I get in my $HOME: L20052-1103TMP.html L9387-1161TMP.html.gz L9387-1181TMP.html L9387-1197TMP.html L9387-298TMP.html.gz L9387-368TMP.html L9387-420TMP.html L9387-954TMP.html.gz -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina@freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Is this a version of Lynx compiled from source or pre-installed? Is it a stable, or developer version? Are the permissions on /tmp 1777? Lastly, is Lynx deleting these files on exit? I've never had Lynx put anything in any place other than /tmp, and it always cleans up after itself, so I'm puzzled by this. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Hi, Adam: Well, /tmp is 1776, which is the Fedora default, at least. Also, the lynx I'm using is the default provided by Fedora, 2.8.5dev.16, which I believe is unchanged from Fedora 2. I don't rightly remember when I started seeing this, but I was surprised, because I, too, am accustomed only to see these files in /tmp. Needless to say, though, that I have mangled the configuration in order to make lynx more blind friendly. I have a .lynxrc and I have also made system-wide changes using the new /etc/lynx-site.cfg mechanism. Looking through both of these, I find nothing about where to write these files. The closest I see is to put cache files into RAM, which I have turned on. And, of course, these are cache, so what does that mean?

Hi -- I haven't used lynx for a long time, but used to do some development on it back a few years ago, and I seem to remember that some commented internal debugging messages go to temp files in the current directory, not in /tmp Again, as someone else suggested, is this a standard release of lynx? did you use an option that is seldom used that someone may have forgotten to turn off debugging for? Have you looked at the contents of the files?

Thanks. The files are literally pages that I have up in various terminals at the moment--so caches. I think the only clue I have is that lynx is supposed to be caching in RAM, not on disk, according to my /etc/lynx-site.cfg settings.
