Hi

it seem I cannot remove this file .Can I put another TMP directory for current user

[VK2COT]

Hello,

a) Set TMPDIR variable to point to some
other non-boot-volume.

I always encourage application admins to use
their own areas for temporary files.

Some applications look at TMPDIR
environment variable.

Others look at two other variables:

Try setting TEMP and TMP as well as TMPDIR
for a user.

c) Is the /tmp file system mounted with
"tmplog" option in /etc/fstab?

That is what you should use on any HP-UX server.

I dislike and discourage use of
/tmp for permanent depository of files
and any HP-UX server that I architect and build, I enforce /tmp cleanup at boot time
(see /etc/rc.config.d/clean_tmps.

d) Finally, let's talk about your
wd_action.dbg file.

I think this file is created by
EMS. JAGag45975 talks about it (ia64_corehw
monitor creates /tmp/wd_action.dbg debugging file).

Firstly, check if anything worthy is in this file (if it is readable).

You hopefully have lsof or fuser installed
on your server. Use these utilities to see
which process is writing to this file.
Most probably, stop EMS, remove the file and restart it.

Instead of removing it (possibly still
open by some process), do this:

# cp /dev/null /tmp/wd_action.log

or

# > /tmp/wd_action.log
