- Hello all! I'm having a wee bit of trouble with the /tmp directories on our newly
- installed Sun network. We're running Sun OS 4.1.2 with Openwin 3.0 as our primary interface.
-
- Every couple of days, I find myself clearing out the /tmp directories on the ELCs,
- because the file system files up. Most of the files in /tmp are zero byte files, but there are
- several, named hvtmpAAAa0???? that take up serious disk space.
-
- Is it just me, or should /tmp be clearing when the user logs off? Did I miss a flag
- somewhere?
-
- Sorry if this is FAQ.
