D-Bus 1.16.2                                                                               DBUS-CLEANUP-SOCKE(1)

       The dbus-cleanup-sockets command cleans up unused D-Bus connection sockets. See
       https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/ for more information about the big picture.

       If given no arguments, dbus-cleanup-sockets cleans up sockets in the standard default socket directory
       for the per-user-login-session message bus; this is usually /tmp. Optionally, you can pass a different
       directory on the command line.

       On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D-Bus defaults to using "abstract sockets" that
       exist only in memory and don't have a corresponding file in /tmp.

       On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to leak when programs using D-Bus exit
       abnormally or without closing their D-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run
       dbus-cleanup-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets. Or you can just ignore the leaked
       sockets, they aren't really hurting anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"
