If you are using ESD, then do this...

1) Edit Cron to include:
-----------------------------
    # This one happen at 10 after the hour, every hour of every day
    10 *    * * *   root    /root/bin/replace_esd.sh
------------------------------

2) File /root/bin/replace_esd.sh looks like:
------------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ ! -f /tmp/.esd/socket ]; then
      logger "/tmp/.esd/socket is missing. replacing..."
      rm -rf /tmp/.esd 2>/dev/null
      mkdir /tmp/.esd
      touch /tmp/.esd/socket 
    else 
      touch /tmp/.esd/socket 
    fi
-------------------------------


I forget now where I got this from, but worked for me :-)
