/tmp Problem

[Ankit_bond2005]

Hello,
I have bought a new Server & i forgot to secure its /tmp.
Now my /tmp is full & i want to change the quota or size of the /tmp partition can anybody tell me how ?

Thanks,
Ankit

you have to redo the partitions... you can empty tmp tho.

SSH into your server and type

rm -rf /tmp and it will delete your whole /tmp directory or

rm -rf/tmp/filename and you can pick the ones you delete.

Be careful though, some programs can put files in your /tmp folder that you need.

Another word of caution make sure you type the whole thing out or copy and paste it all in because if you type rm -rf / you will delete your whole server.

rm -rf /tmp/*
