Sep 12, 2021 at 9:15 comment added joonas.fi @BulatM. tmpfs is explicitly RAM-backed (it will swap though if not all fits in RAM), so on power off everything in /run is lost by design, and no process has to go and clean up previous files.
Feb 5, 2017 at 5:49 comment added anon @Ian, if it's a tmpfs filesystem, then on reboot it will be emptied. Your question: as I know, files would not be automatically deleted, rather process itself has to do proper cleanup.
Dec 8, 2016 at 9:49 comment added Ian Ringrose Do files get automatically deleted when the process stops running?
Apr 7, 2013 at 18:59 comment added Rahul Patil is it only for Arch or what ? /run will be add in RHEL/CentOs, Ubuntu ?
