Re: [cobalt-users] HELP with RAQ 2 - /var at 100% can't su



On Sun, 29 Jul 2001 21:12:51 -0400, art wilton mumbled something 
like:
>>Anyone have any suggestions.

Could you delete or move some of those files with a little shell 
script and a crontab entry? Not sure if you can su to root *inside* 
of a script, but it might be possible. If so, a script ran as admin 
could su to root with the password (somehow) and delete those files 
for you, making some room.
I kinda doubt this is possible, though.
Check the archives for a discussion last week on how to make and 
install your own .pkg, that will run as root. You can do that to 
delete/move some of those files and free up some space so that 
hopefully you can su to root.
