The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Var directory 100% full, Can't install cron job.

Asked by Resna in Unix Operating Systems

Tags: Var directory 100% full, Can't install cron job.

Hi Guys

Im trying to install a cron job.  I was successful once, then thought I would uninstall the job and install a new one only to get this error:

cron/tmp.XXXXlriFvh: No space left on device

Ive read through some forums including this one and found out its the var directory that is 100% full.  And narrowed it down to:


397988  spool
317512  log

Directories being the highest capacity.

Below is the df readout using VI:

But I cant seem to delete any files in var/spool.  Well I say I cant delete them I dont really know how to using VI and its commands.

Could some one help with details instructions on how to delete the files/directories in the var directory.  

Many thanks

Resna
