You could add a df /tmp to the script to see that there is enough space for your file. If it's a RAM disk then it's quite possible that you simply run out of space.

Do you have support for compressed file systems? On Linux there's squashfs and a few others but I don't know about Solaris.

Hi,
First of all, sorry for not posting on this topic,
I had been busy lately...
Anyway you are right, its a ram disk that am dealing with...
The actual script that i am handling is within this and the modifications that am doing are affecting the ram disk itself...

Do you have any idea how to counter this...
Some help towards solving this is very much required...

Pls assist Smilie

Did you investigate those things already?

That it doesn't look like you have room for much stuff there. Wasn't that what we were guessing since some four, five posts ago?

Am sorry for the disorderly post...
I tried using editors but apparently this does not support uploading from gedit or kedit!!!

monitoring /tmp and /var/tmp for suspicous activity

Hello, 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? Maybe there are better ways to monitor suspicous /tmp and /var/tmp activity, if so I'm listening :) (1 Reply)
