Problem with appending a file!
Hi All,

I have a script which i use in office. This script is used to log the work in users name.

For that in the script itself I have added that the infomration should append to the logfile everytime the script is run.

Code:
LOGFILE=/data/log/request1.txt

All these days it was working fine. But all of a sudden today morning i'm getting an error
Code:
" Cannot write to output: No space left on device "

But if try to add to that file manually it will add without any error.

manually in the sense not from Unix ( just opening that text file in windows and adding the information )

So that means if there is no space it should give error while adding information manually also right?

But in my case i'm getting that error only when i use unix script... what may be the problem? Please help...

ls -ld /data/log
df -k /data/log

Oops with df -k i can see that the particular directory is 100% full... so because of that i'm getting that error then,,, but still how is it possible that i can edit that text file manually?
