Stop the mail server and then rm -f * the queue dir. To send cron mail to /dev/null add this to the end of your job line ' > /dev/null 2>&1' -----Original Message----- From: Staven Bruce [mailto:Staven.Bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 12:47 PM To: 'redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Please Help Fast! /VAR is Full ! I am running Red Hat 7.3 and I came in this morning and found /var was at 100%. A quick 'du /var' showed that my /var/spool/mqueue directory as at 145MB ! Usually my /var directory is at 46% on my machine, and I believe that this is all the result of a cron job I started yesterday that runs hourly. I really need to find out how I can clear the mqueue. The device is full according to the system, so I can't use 'sendmail -q'. I don't care if I loose all the messages in the que, they don't contain anything important and there are no other users on the machine besides myself. Can I 'rm * ' all the files in /var/spool/mqueue? I just need to get them out of there! Also, if someone can tell me how to turn off the automatic e-mail from cron I would appreciate it!
