While it might initially seem that removing your session_gate_pid
file might be problematic, in reality, the above command should
do basicly nothing on most Athena workstations since /tmp is a symlink
and you don't specify -follow. e.g.:
[x15-cruise-basselope!jhawk] ~> find /tmp -print
/tmp
[x15-cruise-basselope!jhawk] ~> find /tmp -follow -print
/tmp
/tmp/.pcmcia
/tmp/.pcmcia/pcram
/tmp/.X11-unix
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
/tmp/.X11-unix/X1
...
--jhawk
