698.0. "Clearing Out Working Directories" by ELGIN::RASOOLM (The computer in front is an ALPHA) Fri Apr 28 1995 10:39

    
    I have initiated a "@CONSOLE$STARTUP.COM restart", and for the last 40
    mins, it has been busy doing the "Clearing Out Working Directories"
    bit.
    
    It is not hung, as the I/O rate is going up steadily. The last time I
    did this, it took about an hour ( I do not do it regularly enough?).
    
    Is there something I should be doing on a regular basis to keep the
    "working directories" ship-shape?
    
    
    Max.

	Max, Nope, this is a known problem, if you have large numbers of action routines started, their temporary command procedures dont get deleted when they exit. They also dont get deleted anyway if you have debug turned on! Cheers, Phil
698.2	Manual tidyup saves time on startup	SUPER7::HUGHESA	Swimming against the tide @#%*	`Fri Apr 28 1995 11:14`	8
	Max, Keep an eye on the CONSOLE$TMP directory and delete the log files on a regular basis while PCM is still running. This will reduce your startup time as PCM clears the contents of this directory upon startup. Andy.

	Thanks, I'll keep one eye on the CONSOLE$TMP directory. The last time it happened though, I kept doing "show dev d" to see if space was being cleared off any disk. No disk showed up any extra space after the job finished. I do not currently have any action routines implemented. Max.
