Files in the tmp directory

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone out there has come across this particular problem.

We are running 4.0F on DS10 clusters. The application is running on an
Informix Universe database and prints via jetforms and LPRng. Quite a
volatile mix I agree.

The problem is that files are being created in the tmp directory during the
printing process. All the files are of the form temp00xx####. So far we have
eliminated jetform as the culprit as one of the clusters doesn't run it but
still creates the temp files.

Under normal circumstances I would say this is not a problem. However the
printing throughput of these systems results in the /tmp directory being
filled if we do not clear it out on a nightly basis. When the /tmp system
fills the machine goes into a hung condition requiring a hard reset to
recover.

As I said at the beginning, if anyone has seen or solved a similar situation
your input would be greatly appreciated.
