Lots of people, including me, do it all the time. Kermit does not write
into /tmp unless you tell it to -- it's probably cron or something related
to it.
Unfortunately, your question is much to vague to result in a useful
answer. What operating system and version? Which version of Kermit?
Exactly how are you starting it and where is it getting its commands from
and what are the commands? etc etc.
In general, the best method is to tell Kermit to read its commands from
a file, and to redirect its standard output to some other file, for
example (a cron job that runs every four hours):
0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * (cd /usr/olaf; kermit -y /oofa.scr > oofa.log)
where oofa.scr is a file containing all the commands you want C-Kermit
to execute.
