Re: [foxboro] /var partition full on AW51B running ver 4.3

Dear Kashif,
There is an HH related to this problem. You can try the instruction as 
mentioned in the HH below.
 
HH#:  HH739                                    IA INFO:  sjp9503.a              
                         File:  50 Series OS                                    
Release:  ALL                                       Date:  Feb. 12, 
1997Subject:  Out of file space in /var partition Source:  TACMany times we are 
out of space in the /var partition, you check theusual places, mail, core 
dumps, wastebasket files, crash files, messagelogs, etc..Look in /var/adm  
there are two files wtmpx and utmpx.  These files holdthe user and accounting 
information for the who, write and login commandsfor that station.  The 
following commands can be executed to shrink thefile back to 0 size.   You must 
be a super user for the commands to work. Please note:  When executing this 
command be sure no               other users are logged into the system.        
       cd /var/adm               cp /dev/null utmp               cp /dev/null 
wtmp               cp /dev/null wtmpx               cp /dev/null utmpx An 
additional command that can be used is:             > wtmpxCheck the size now 
and it should be 0.
