Can't get out of Collaboration session
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2018 10:27 pm
I've got some users who can't open a file in their team folder on our CmapServer w/out getting the message to submit a request for collaborating (which eventually times out). It does NOT matter if they restart the CmapTools program, logout and log back in or restart the client, they still get the message.
I experimented after school today and looks like there is a file called /home/username/.cmaptools/jimidat.x where x can be 1 all the way up to, well, one user has one with a 49! I did some experiments and it looks like when a user saves their cmap while doing synchronous editing the jimidat.x file is created, the more times saved, the higher the number. Upon all cmaptools windows closed, it looks like these are supposed to be auto-deleted. I'm guess that this isn't happening if they logout w/out first closing all CmapTools windows. I'll talk to them about this. Also, is there something that could be done so that CmapTools exits cleanly during the logout process? I'm guessing this not exiting cleanly upon logout is related to the problem I've talked about here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4116&p=7697&hilit=lost+place#p7697
Is it safe for me to autodelete any */.cmaptools/jimidat.* files when no users are logged in?
Thanks!
