Maybe you can use /var/tmp instead of /tmp?
The way Solaris looks at tmp directories:
/tmp
- very volatile data.
- Do not use for data that should be kept more than several seconds.
/var/tmp
- less volatile data.
- Directory on disk so data in it will survive a reboot.
- Use for any tmp data that should be kept more than several seconds.

does anyone have a script that can check the contents of the /tmp directory and for example e-mail the directory content if anything other than session files are present?
