    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.
