I keep getting a message about a file system filling up in my errpt.

F89FB899 1006150004 P O dumpcheck The copy directory is too small.

Doing a -a on the error I see that it's looking for space for /var/adm/ras and needs about 1MB more.

Running "du -rxk | sort -rn | pg" I see that /var/adm/cron/ is taking up a good amount of space. Going to that directory I see just a few files, but there is one that is HUGE compared to the rest, and that is "log." Looking in this file I see that it goes back about 6 years. They only suggestions I could find online say to just cat it to /dev/null. If I did that I would loose everything, thats not what I want to do, I only want to keep about a years worth of data. Do you know of any other commands I could try to run against it to cull out some of the data?

You could always "tail" the log file. That way you can choose how many lines you want to save.

tail -2000 /var/adm/cron >/tmp/admcron.tmp; more /tmp/admcron.tmp # just verifying; cat /tmp/admcron.tmp >/var/adm/cron

By the way, who is mcbride ?
