Startup Command and Parameter Reference

Save Temp Files (-t)

Use Save Temp Files (-t) to make temporary files visible on UNIX.

Operating system and syntax	UNIX	-t
Use with	Maximum value	Minimum value	Single-user default	Multi-user default
Client Session	–	–	–	–

Typically, temporary files (LBInumber, SRTnumber, PGEnumber, DBInumber, and TRPnumber) are invisible (unlinked on UNIX) when Progress is running. In these filenames, number is the process ID of the user’s OpenEdge session. The -t parameter also makes the entries visible after Progress aborts. However, if Progress aborts, delete the temporary files yourself.

With or without the -t parameter, Progress always deletes the temporary files when it terminates normally.
