The files in /var/spool/mqueue could be from cronjobs.<br />
<br />
If you want to get rid of all the output from the crontab entries you should consider piping it.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
55 23 * * * /var/minime/night_jobs.sh &gt;&gt;&nbsp;/tmp/minime.log 2&gt;&amp;1<br />
<br />
Or:<br />
55 23 * * * /var/minime/night_jobs.sh &gt;&nbsp;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1<br />

Have you tried a reboot?<br />
<br />
Deleting files on the run in /tmp can be hazardous to the system.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
