    I type "ps -ef | grep cadmin" 

cadmin   12887     1 54 09:16 ?        05:35:26 /usr/bin/gnome-session
cadmin   12888 12887  0 09:16 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xini
root     25344 23855  0 19:32 pts/4    00:00:00 grep cadmin
			
   It's strange that process 12887 has been running so long time . I kill it ,and
much space has been free. but another directory /home/yxma is increasing quickly.
I checked the process

yxma     23233     1 53 16:39 ?        02:05:08 xemacs /home/yxma/synthesis/soc_

    The volume of direcory ~yxma is increasing more and more. It stops when I killed the process. 

    Then cd ~yxma, du . | sort -nr | more

The current directory is very large. But actually there are only a few small files in this directory.What's the problem? 


Best regards,
