MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Heyas. My /var partition fills up once a day from the volume of mail I get from various lists. I remember when I had 2.2.6 running, there was a ./daily command in /etc that I could use that cleaned up all the temp stuff in /var (I think thats how I did it). But now that I am running 3.1, there is a directory called /etc/periodic/daily that has executable scripts such as "100.clean-disks" and "110.clean-tmps". I can't figure out what these do. So far, the only way I can clear out the /var partition is to reboot (ugh). There doesn't seem to be any references to what I'm looking for in /usr/share/doc/handbook and my copy of _The_Complete_FreeBSD_ is a little dated now (It came with the 2.2.6 disks). Can anyone point me to the info I am looking for? I am not subscribed to the list, so please either reply directly or Cc: to my email adddress.
