Re: What dumps files like magicCfLHA0 into my $HOME?

[Crispin Wellington <crispin@aeonline.net>]

Are there any patterns in the files appearing. Like an app you use that
makes them appear? Or are they appearing all the time?

You can use lsof to find what programmes have what files open, and this
could be used to find the culprit programme, but only *while the
programme has the magic files open*. Use something like

lsof -n |grep magic

Hope lsof will help you here :)
