[Backgroundrb-devel] backgroundrb not cleaning up tmp files?

[Erik Morton]

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been  
running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000  
backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like  
backgroundrb wasn't cleaning them up.

I noticed it with the following error:
DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ 
backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 - #<Errno::ENOENT: No such  
file or directory - ///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/

Has anyone else seen this?
