We have configured /tmp as part of the main memory, now is at 8MB, but all mail that is send or lynx jobs that use this space, when it's full an error shown, just like if there is no memory. One solution will be to make /tmp 16MB, but sometimes a mail job and lynx job will be together and suck that space up, then /tmp 32MB, but maybe 90 or 95% of the time will be in not use. I want to know if there is a way to tell that when /tmp fill up, then change to (like) /var/tmp and use disk space instead of memory? Thanks Alberto de Poo TamNet
