/tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded
Can you help. My server sunning solaris 9 on x86 platform pretty much hung for a few hours... I could not use telnet or ssh to the box - it kept refusing connection. A few hours later - I was able to log in again.
The server has not rebooted but here are the first errors in the messages log file:
Mar 17 19:01:01 host11 tmpfs: [ID 518458 kern.warning] WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded

Mar 17 19:16:00 host11 genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING: Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 15140 (cron)
As far as I can see - everything looks fine currently.
# swap -s
total: 54104k bytes allocated + 63904k reserved = 118008k used, 1308268k available
# df -k /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 1308716 124 1308592 1% /tmp
Is there anything I can to find out what caused this error?
And is there anything I can do to prevent it occuring again?
I have not rebooted the server in 7 days - so hopefully there might be some evidence somewhere as to what caused it. Any help is appreciated.

glib::flags
Glib::Flags(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Glib::Flags(3)
NAME
Glib::Flags
DESCRIPTION
Glib maps flag and enum values to the nicknames strings provided by the underlying C libraries. Representing flags this way in Perl is an
interesting problem, which Glib solves by using some cool overloaded operators.
The functions described here actually do the work of those overloaded operators. See the description of the flags operators in the "This
Is Now That" section of Glib for more info.
HIERARCHY
Glib::Flags
METHODS
scalar = $class->new ($a)
o $a (scalar)
Create a new flags object with given bits. This is for use from a subclass, it's not possible to create a "Glib::Flags" object as such.
For example,
my $f1 = Glib::ParamFlags->new ('readable');
my $f2 = Glib::ParamFlags->new (['readable','writable']);
An object like this can then be used with the overloaded operators.
scalar = $a->all ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
ref = $a->as_arrayref
integer = $a->bool ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->eq ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
integer = $a->ge ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->intersect ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
integer = $a->ne ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (integer)
scalar = $a->sub ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->union ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
scalar = $a->xor ($b, $swap)
o $b (scalar)
o $swap (scalar)
