Operating Systems HP-UX HP UX 10.20 E9000 System Full? Post 302920593 by gull04 on Friday 10th of October 2014 10:22:33 AM

Hi,

It should be OK to delete /var/mail/root - but you might want to have a look at it's contents first and check what has generated it.

Just type "mail" as the root user and you can have a quick look at the contents of the mails. If you are not interested in the contents then just type;
Code:
root@sys # >/var/mail/root

or
Code:
cp /dev/null /var/mail/root

As I said earlier it is most probably output from cron or other system utilities.

Regards

Dave

AMTOC(8)						  System Administration Commands						  AMTOC(8)

NAME
amtoc - generate TOC (Table Of Contents) for an Amanda run SYNOPSIS
amtoc [-a] [-i] [-t] [-f file] [-s subs] [-w] [--] logfile DESCRIPTION
Amtoc generates a table of contents for an Amanda run. It's a perl script (if you don't have perl, install it first!). OPTIONS
-a The output file name will be label-of-the-tape.toc in the same directory as logfile. -i Display help about amtoc. -t Generate the output in tabular form. -f file Write the output to a file ('-' for stdout). -s subs Evaluate the output file name from subs, with $_ set to label-of-the-tape. The -a option is equivalent to -s 's/$_/.toc/'. -w Separate tapes with form-feeds and display blank lines before totals. -- Marks the last option so the next parameter is the logfile. logfile (use '-' for stdin) OUTPUT FORMAT
The standard output has five fields separated by two spaces: # Server:/partition date level size[Kb] 0 daily-05: 19991005 - - 1 cuisun15:/cuisun15/home 19991005 1 96 2 cuinfs:/export/dentiste 19991005 1 96 ... 103 cuisg11:/ 19991005 0 4139136 103 total: - - 16716288 In tabular format (-t), this would look like: # Server:/partition date lev size[Kb] 0 daily-05: 19991005 - - 1 cuisun15:/cuisun15/home 19991005 1 96 2 cuinfs:/export/dentiste 19991005 1 96 ... 103 cuisg11:/ 19991005 0 4139136 103 total: - - 16716288 USAGE
The easiest way to use it is to run amtoc right after amdump in the cron job: amdump daily ; logdir=`amgetconf daily logdir` ; log=`ls -1t $logdir/log.*.[0-9] | head -1` ; amtoc -a $log which will generate /usr/local/etc/amanda//daily/tape_label.toc. You may also want to call amtoc after an amflush. SEE ALSO
