17:02 <Cuddlingwolf> Hey everyone, this is a non-code question about directories...  in the root directory on this web site is a folder named "proc" with numerical subfolders, many of which are invalid.. the valid ones have subfolders like "attr" "fd" and "Task"   the issue im having is in one of the "fd" folders is a large number of numerical files and for some reason several of them will not transfer during this
17:02 <Cuddlingwolf> server backup... it's like they keep resetting themselves
17:03 <Cuddlingwolf> My real question is, what the hell is this directory for?  It's the only web server I have that has this directory and I did not set up the server originally but I do know that a lot of webmasters have worked on this site over time as it changed hands and many installed stupid stuff that is no longer in use and I would love to delete a lot of it
17:06 <stvs> Cuddlingwolf, /proc means processes and that's not an actual directory
17:06 <stvs> it's like /dev
17:07 <stvs> There are no files there
17:07 <stvs> Also also if you're not joking, trying to delete the stupid stuff from /proc because of the stupid devs that did your site really is hilarious.
17:10 <stvs> Also means you should not delete absolutely anything and delegate the task to someone who has a clue
17:12 <Cuddlingwolf> stvs, wow, no need to be a complete douchebag about it, but thanks
