<para>The <command>dbus-cleanup-sockets</command> command cleans up unused D-Bus
connection sockets. See <ulink url='http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/'>http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/</ulink> for
more information about the big picture.</para>
<para>If given no arguments, <command>dbus-cleanup-sockets</command> cleans up sockets
in the standard default socket directory for the
per-user-login-session message bus; this is usually /tmp.
Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.</para>
<para>On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D-Bus defaults
to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have a
corresponding file in /tmp.</para>
<para>On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to
leak when programs using D-Bus exit abnormally or without closing
their D-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run
dbus-cleanup-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets.
Or you can just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting
anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"</para>
