olderThan files
Hi,
I noticed that recently strange empty files are being created in the home directory of the root account on my solaris 10 servers that have Sun Update Manager installed. Here is a typical list:
t# ls -l
total 2
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 1 14:28 090010200
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 3 14:28 090030200
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 5 14:28 090050200
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 7 14:28 090070200
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 9 14:28 090090200
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 9 14:28 olderThan.11323
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 30 02:00 olderThan.14724

Are these files some sort of leftover temp files created by Sun Update Manager? Should they continue exist? Is this a bug from Sun Update Manager?
Regards,
Should they continue exist?

My crontab entry looks like:
53 11 * * * /usr/lib/cc-cfw/platform/invagent/bin/cc-invagent
and my inventory files are not removed....well, to be exact, SOME are not removed...for example, here's a snippet of ls -lt from my root dir:
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Dec 20 23:00 olderThan.22085
drwxr-xr-x2 rootsys 1024 Dec 18 15:11 sbin
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Dec 14 23:00 olderThan.24299
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Dec 2 23:00 olderThan.3508
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Nov 27 08:00 olderThan.26365
drwxr-xr-x 43 rootsys 1024 Nov 14 19:38 var
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Nov 4 20:45 olderThan.632
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Nov 4 20:45 110040800
drwxr-xr-x3 rootroot 512 Nov 1 17:54 jumpstart
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Oct 26 08:00 olderThan.13048
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Oct 15 08:00 olderThan.24447
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Oct 9 20:45 olderThan.6174
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Oct 9 20:45 100090800
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Sep 8 2006 olderThan.14490
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 25 2006 olderThan.3835
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 20 2006 olderThan.21748
drwxr-xr-x2 rootroot 512 Aug 17 2006 apc
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 8 2006 olderThan.19990
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 8 2006 080080800
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 5 2006 olderThan.29402
-rw-r--r--1 rootroot0 Aug 5 2006 080050800
drwx5 rootsys12 Aug 2 2006 zones
...any ideas why these are not removed? Also, what is causing the numeric-only named files? i.e. '080080800' after 'olderThan.19990' ? I'm a Solaris 8 guy and this is baffling.
Thanks,
Phil
