Symptoms

Error: Server Disk Space shortage

Cause

Thousands of small files filling up /var/spool/clientmqueue
Crond fills up the directory causing the disk space shortage alarm

Solution

The files in /var/spool/clientmqueue/ with random names like "qfq8JLk1dG030695" are due to Appworks cron jobs, these files are not cleared out of the directory and will build up over time. The issue should be resolved in TPD 6.0.2 (DSR4.1) so they no longer are generated, but old files may remain and will need to be cleaned out.

If the issue is occurring, stop new files from being generated:

  Update the crond file in sysconfig:
  #rcstool co /etc/sysconfig/crond
  #vi /etc/sysconfig/crond
  Change to the following:
  CRONDARGS="-m off"
  Save the file
  Check file back in:
  #rcstool ci /etc/sysconfig/crond
  Restart crond:
  #cd /etc/init.d/
  #./crond restart
  Verify the crond has changed (updated to today's time/date):
  #ps -ef | grep crond

Clean out the files to clear the alarm:

  Go to the directory:
  #cd /var/spool/clientmqueue
  Rather than list the directory, get a count of the files:
  #ls | wc -l
  Remove all the files:
  #rm -f /var/spool/clientmqueue/*

The alarms should clear.
