The ide below has been running for weeks, and today, when starting a build, the output window showed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- cd '/home/toddb/src/src4/omneon/director/host/sb' /bin/gmake -f Makefile QUIET= Cannot run program "/tmp/dlight_toddb/c54878f/1300829284/pty": error=2, No such file or directory BUILD FAILED (exit value -2, total time: 53ms) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This continues until I restart the ide, and the build works fine. There is nothing in the messages.log at the time of the failure. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201707260001) Updates: Updates available Java: 1.8.0_101; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.101-b13 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_101-b13 System: Linux version 4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) User directory: /home/toddb/.netbeans/dev Cache directory: /home/toddb/.cache/netbeans/dev
Todd, may be you have cleaned your /tmp folder for some reason while IDE was running? In this case you could delete /tmp/dlight_toddb folder where we keep some helper binaries

> you have cleaned your /tmp folder No. Rarely if ever. But I should emphasize that this instance of the ide had been running for at least a 10 days while I was out of town. Turns out the file cited in the error message below *still* exists on the system. And I've attached it for your entertainment. --------------------------------------------------- $ ls -l /tmp/dlight_toddb/c54878f/1300829284/pty -rwxrw-r-- 1 toddb toddb 23280 Sep 26 11:03 /tmp/dlight_toddb/c54878f/1300829284/pty ---------------------------------------------------

True (and not rewritten). I cannot explain why it was removed. There is nothing in /etc/cron* that would do it. I'll close this and if it ever happens again with better evidence, I'll reopen.
