NAME
       emprmtmp  - remove dangling Empress temporary files and directories

SYNOPSIS
       emprmtmp directory [directory ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  allows  a user to remove the temporary directories which
       have been left behind by defunct Empress processes.  These  directories
       are normally removed when Empress exits cleanly, but can remain when an
       Empress process dies unexpectedly.

       directory       This is a directory in which emprmtmp should search for
                       Empress   temporary   directories.   Empress  temporary
                       directories always start with the prefix EMP_  followed
                       by  the process ID.  If such directories are found, and
                       do not have active Empress  processes  associated  with
                       them, they will be removed.


NOTES
       Emprmtmp  cannot  remove  files  owned  by other users.  If you want to
       clean up for several users at once, you may wish  to  run  emprmtmp  as
       root.   In  Unix,  you  can  accomplish  this  by making the executable
       $EMPRESSPATH/bin/emprmtmp setuid to root or by  running  emprmtmp  from
       cron (the clock daemon) as root.

       Empress  Software  Inc. provided the source to emprmtmp to allow system
       administrators to examine it and compile it themselves if they are con-
       cerned  about  security, especially when it is run as root.  The source
       is found in $EMPRESSPATH/rdbms/util_bin/src/emprmtmp.c.   Modifications
       to the source are made at your own risk.
