[ale] /tmp directory full!!

[jb at sourceillustrated.com (John Wells)]

Mark,

Rebooting won't clear tmp.  This is usually handled by a cron job.  Red
Hat comes with tmpwatch...a program that deletes files that haven't been
accessed for a certain number of days in /tmp.  It runs as a daily cron
job.

You could look at tmpwatch, or set up your own.
