It was actually first implemented by David Korn in 1987 and was included in SVR4.0 / Solaris 2.0 which was jointly developed by AT&T and Sun Microsystems.

Gnu implemented it later and before that, was only supporting Dan Berstein's -print0 | xargs -0 alternative.

Thanks, I got finally the total ammount on files into the clientmqueue directory. There are 1.800.000 files Smilie ... And deleting them taking a lot of time (my command runs till now for 9 hours and deleted "only" 1.000.000 files!!!!)

I'm trying your command and I hope it's faster then mine! Smilie

Well, finally I succesfully deleted 1.800.000 files!!!!
But how can I stop the creation of the new one? probably stopping sendmail service (also at boottime)

I tried without success:
Code:
# svcs sendmail 
bash: svcs: command not found
# service sendmail status
bash: service: command not found
# svcadm disable sendmail
bash: svcadm: command not found

scvs and svcadm are only implemented in Solaris 10 and newer. Anyway, that's not the proper approach. These mails are not created by the sendmail service but by applications wishing to send mail. The fact they stay there is either caused by an improperly configured or disabled sendmail or, more likely, because their recipient is local and just doesn't read them. Have a look at the mail contents to see what is creating them. A common root cause is cron jobs producing output. A simple workaround is redirecting their stdout and stderr to /dev/null.

You're right, the mail was created by some scripts in crontab. How can I redirect to dev/null all the scripts output?

This is what I see on the mails:

Code:
root@ciy01 clientmqueue# cat dfq5UM7EWH024848
Your "cron" job on ciy01
/var/opt/getstat.sh

produced the following output:

Local directory now /var/getstat

And also:

Code:
root@ciy01 clientmqueue# cat qfq5UM6Dtm024456

Either add >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of the lines calling /var/opt/getstat.sh in root's crontab:
Code:
EDITOR=vi crontab -e

or add the line exec >/dev/null 2>&1once in /var/opt/getstat.sh script before it spits its output.
