Imagemagick temp files
-
I have started using this plugin on a new site and finding that the system /tmp directory fills up almost immediately. This is because of temp files created by imagemagick as the dreamspeed CDN plugin converts old images to move them to the CDN. The temp files look like:
-rw------- 1 username pg2033384 1365376000 Sep 21 09:48 /tmp/magick-kpcYcfBe
This appears to be a known problem with IM such that an IM crash leaves a huge temp file behind, since there is some discussion about it on the imagemagick forums. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there a way to stop the automatic image movement process at least? Thanks.

The only reason the plugin does that is because you’ve changed image sizes since they were originally created so it has to create the ones it can’t find. Otherwise it’s just going to be copying what you have up to the cloud. You could delete the cron jobs (wp-crontrol is great for this) but… The only other idea would be to make a normal cron that deletes tmp/magi* files every X minutes. Not a great solution :/
