Agreed.

Honestly, I would take some time to learn to see if you have available slices on your root disk to move /var to. Even with removing stuff from crash, your space is pretty tight.

Also, leave the CVSROOT alone, you seem to have source control running on that machine as well.

How can I find out if I have available slices on my root?

As bartus suggested, I removing files from crash.
That will give me about 300 MB of space

Also this might sound like a really dumb question, but what do you mean when you say I have "source control" running on this machine?

Thanks, I really really appreciate all your help.
I am learning a great bunch here !! =)

Well, CVSROOT usually belongs to CVS Concurrent Versions System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To find out of you have slices available on your disk, I would read this:
BigAdmin Submitted Article: The 'format' Utility in the Solaris Operating System
It's a lot to go through, but it will teach you a lot more than me just spitting out some commands that may not hit home for you.

If this box is going to be yours full time, most likely this will happen again, so I'd read it over.

So my / has gone down from 100% to 93% after removing those files.

Code:
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0      4205630 3847287  316287    93%    /

For now, my short term goal is to send an email out of this system.
What should be my next step as I have about 309M of free space on /

I skimmed through the "the format" utility link.
I will definitely make that link my reading over the weekend Smilie

You probably should be able to send mail now. If not, just restart sendmail and try again.

I have restarted both the machine and sendmail, but email is still not getting delivered.

Could it have something to do with DNS? as it shows in the line below

Code:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
451 live.ca: Name server timeout

I get the following output after running nslookup.
# nslookup live.ca         
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Server failed
*** Can't find server name for address 198.235.216.131: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available

192.168.2.1 is the IP address of the router (gateway) that this box is connected to.
198.235.216.131 is the DNS address in the router.

Any suggestions?
You have been really helpful so far!!
Thanks

Have you tried pinging those boxes to make sure you have connectivity to them?

Are you locally connected to the server, or ssh'd in?
