Syswatch problem. HELP ME OUT PLEASE

find command is great!
Use the find command to find files in your root directory that are large.
Quote from my "UNIX CD Bookshelf":
To search for files using a range of file sizes, a minus or plus sign can be specified before the number. The minus sign (-) means less than, and the plus sign (+) means greater than. This next example lists all files that are greater than 10,000 bytes, but less than 32,000 bytes:
find . -size +10000c -size -32000c -print
You can just put find . -size +10000c -print to give you any file over a certain size. Increase it to at least 1,000,000 (no commas in find command) or maybe 5,000,000 to find the culprit.
Also, do a finger to see who is on the box right now someone maybe testing something and directed the output to root by accident.
Also, check to see how you box is partitioned. If /var or /tmp are in your root partition that maybe your problem area.
Also, do a man find to see what options you have for your UNIX OS. If you have the -prune option, you can limit the depth of your search with find or else it will search your entire box from the root directory!
Hope this helps.

chicken-bug
CHICKEN-BUG(1) General Commands Manual CHICKEN-BUG(1) NAME
chicken-bug - generates a bug report from user input SYNOPSIS
chicken-bug [ filename | OPTION ... ] OPTIONS
-help Show usage information. -to-stdout Write bug report to standard output instead of writing it to a file. - Read user input from standard input, even if files are given on the command line. DESCRIPTION
chicken-bug generates a bug report file that collects user-input, optional files and system information obtained from the installed CHICKEN executables and libraries. Non-option arguments given on the command line are inserted into the bug report. If no option is given, or if - has been passed on the command line, then a description of the problem is read from standard input, until EOF (CTRL-D) or a line consisting only of "." (period) is read. The bug report will be written to a file in the current directory, which should be sent to CHICKEN maintainers as it contains various use- ful bits of information that make it easier to classify the problem described. Bug reports should be as detailed as possible. It is also very helpful to include code that reproduces the problem. The more detailed the input and the more thorough the description is, the easier you make it for the CHICKEN developers to help you. BUGS
