YaST has an option to edit all config files, this includes a cron job that will delete old core files. (YES, you can delete old core files) YAST won't start. It gives me the error: Error creating tmpdir, DETAIL:0 FILE: Applicatio.cc Line:1397 presumably because I've ran out of / space? I tried it from the command line and X.
The config file that yast manipulates is /etc/rc.config so just go in find where it says delete old core and say YES
Just remember to run /sbin/SuSEconfig after directly editing /etc/rc.config else reboot.
there is also a line about how long old log files should be there default is 365 (days) you can tweek that down. Another setting something about tmp files , you can manipulate that You'll probably have to leave the machine running so cron can perform. do a df -h today make changes in rc.config, let the box run, and check df -h tomorrow
see what happens rob
