Eelco Dolstra	00f698eb8b	find-runtime-roots.pl: Search process environments for roots ... For instance, this prevents paths from being deleted that are in use by a "nix-build --run-env" session.	2013-04-26 12:06:39 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra	938092a213	find-runtime-roots.pl: Use Nix::Utils::readFile	2013-04-26 11:44:19 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra	5090c34ee1	* Set the executable bit on scripts.	2011-10-10 22:40:17 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	a8ea4cbcc8	* Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel ... modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash.	2007-03-20 11:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	947e645789	* Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54).	2006-09-20 15:14:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	dcded7da47	* Don't try to do DNS lookups.	2006-07-21 12:28:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	ebcccbd358	* Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector, ... such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program).	2006-07-19 16:49:59 +00:00
