Re: cron job allocates space in root file system

Yes, you are correct.
The problem is that I intially posted in the Linux (but I wanted hp-ux) but I could not find it through the search, so I thought it was not actually posted.

But anyway, I think I have finally found the cause of the problem.

The problem is that in the HP9000 the audit option was ON, so the audit files were increasing every time the cron job was executed. Since the job includes several system commands, which are monitored by the audit, the problem was that a week after the root disk space (where the audit log was located) was significantly minimized.

So I turned the audit OFF and rotated the logs and now it seems that everything is OK.

Thanks everyone for your effort and immediate resonse. I do appreciate.

Now it's time to assign points!!!

Thanks.
George.
