I have a file in / called -P. It is a socket file I believe I

How can I check for sure to make sure it isn't something important?

Check to see if anything has it open currently. "netstat -a -f unix"
will do that for you. Then rename it. Then wait a week before
unlinking it.

Nothing had it open. Took me a second to figure out the "--" option so that
mv would rename it. :)

How do I unlink it?
