Anyone know what files these are? $3CDC0B19.TSM?

Hello,

Mr. Newbie here again.

I’ve been trying to free up some disk space on one of my windows servers. I have come across several hundred files in my c:\winnt\temp folder that end wth t$m. there are usually two per day. One is 142 Kb. The other is 27,196 Kb. The dates are from today back to 5/25/2008.

Ultimately I would like to delete most of these and free up some space. Can anyone tell me what these logs are? How they are used? Do I need them? And how can I turn them off or limit them?

Thank You.

P…

Here is some output from one of the 27 MB files.

I presume im not the only one scratching my head wondering why the heck you have asterisk log files in your windows temp directory.

lazytt,

Not exactly a response I was looking for but at least now, I know it is not part of “normal operation”. At least that is what I am gleaning from your statement. Is there a config somewhere on the system that points temp files to a specific location? Again, I am totally new to Linux, Asterisk, Trixbox and FreePBX. I am being very conservative and cautious with regard to what I do on the\is system. As an interim measure, can I safely delete the old log files without doing much damage. Are they used for anything besides diagnostics or a record of activity.

Tnx

There should be no harm done to deleting log files, but im still very confused as to what you are doing. Perhaps you can describe your setup a bit? Include os, version, distro info, anything that can help us help you.

lazytt,

Thanks again for the quick reply. My bad. I have two concurrent posts regarding differing topics here and I neglected to post my details for this one.

In an effort to save bandwidth. Please take a look at my other post, as it has a description of “where I am coming from” and may add to your ability to assist me.

(Sorry, not sure how to make this a link in this forum. After looking at the preview, I guess the forum takes care of that for me… )

I am brand new to this company and was left “holding the bag” as far as the phone system goes. I have very little if any unix/linux experience. I know a few navigational commands, and am overly cautious before running ANY command. I have many years of sysadmin/netadmin experience, am CCNA certtified, and primarily work with windows servers. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what you are dealing with.

Thanks again.

The files in the temp folder were probably downloaded by an application for local viewing. without knowing what programs the person you replaced used it’s almost impossible to guess. But many windows programs will create temp files when they download a file that is bigger then it can handle in memory.

So it’s possibly that for example he/she connected to the server via samba, browsed to the logs file and opened it with some log viewer which did it. But I’l guessing as I don’t know how he/she really worked.
