[lm-announce] URGENT - DATA LEFT ON WORKSTATIONS

[Sam Swift]

Dear All,

I've had a number of people come see me today who are having problems  
either acquiring or processing data due to a lack of space on the  
hard drives of the workstations and acquisition computers.  Please  
could ALL of you do me a big favour and check your home directory on  
any microscope or workstation you have ever used and -

1.  move the data to your home directory on Zeus
2.  delete this data and any core dumps (they're the files that look  
like an acid house smiley with a hangover) from your directory on the  
local hard drive
3.  empty the trash

I'm at a workshop in London on Monday, so it would be a really lovely  
surprise to come back on Tuesday to find you have all done this.   
Honestly, it will only take you 5 minutes (unless you're a really big  
offender, of course, in which case you should just be grateful Chris  
hasn't deleted it for you).  If you don't know how to do this, please  
ask Calum (x8751) to help you.  I've had a quick look on the PCs and  
think it's fair to say that pretty well all of you have something  
somewhere, so don't think this doesn't concern you.  Please also bear  
in mind that if you lent your account details to someone else, they  
may have left stuff in your directory that you don't know about.

Thanks in advance,
Sam
