I'm a new IDL user/administrator, and I'm sure others have hit this:
Like most Unix sites, I have a cron job which cleans old files out
of /tmp and /usr/tmp on the basis of an old access time, something
like
find /usr/tmp -atime +7 -exec rm \{\} \;
(shortened for clarity--the real one has a few more checks).
However, idl_lmgrd writes a lock file in /usr/tmp which gets deleted
by the above, and idl_lmgrd shortly thereafter exits and IDL won't
run. Is there some way to tell idl_lmgrd to write its lock file
somewhere else and/or to touch it every so often so it won't get
deleted? I could (indeed have) put a special check in the find in
cron so as not to touch that particular file, but its ugly.
On a related note, has anyone had idl_lmgrd exit for no apparent
reason?
