Operating Systems AIX \tmp Directory is full up to 99%. Post 302562048 by zxmaus on Wednesday 5th of October 2011 07:56:39 PM

you should probably not delete .log files - if you want to make space empty them up but leave them where they are - just in case an application still uses them. If you delete logfiles still in use, than the application might crash or some other weird behaviours might occur, so better >file.log

As previous posters mentioned already, you can as well check for last access with 'find /tmp -atime' whatever timeframe you want to keep just to make sure you dont remove files that might still be needed. Removing anything not accessed in the last 7 days might be a rather safe bet.

NAME
abrt.conf - Configuration file for abrt. DESCRIPTION
abrt is a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it collects the problem data and takes action according to its configuration. This document describes abrt's configuration file. The configuration file consists of items in the format "Option = Value". A description of each item follows: DumpLocation = directory The directory where should abrt store coredumps and all files which are needed for reporting. The default is /var/tmp/abrt. MaxCrashReportsSize = number The maximum disk space (specified in megabytes) that abrt will use for all the crash dumps. Specify a value here to ensure that the crash dumps will not fill all available storage space. The default is 1000. WatchCrashdumpArchiveDir = directory The daemon will watch this directory and call abrt-handle-upload on files which appear there. This is used to auto-unpack crashdump tarballs uploaded via ftp, scp, etc. The directory must exist and be writable for abrt. There is no default. DeleteUploaded = yes/no The daemon will delete an uploaded crashdump archive after an atempt to unpack it. An archive will be delete whether unpacking finishes successfully or not. The default value is no. SEE ALSO
