Hi All,
Please treat this as urgent!!!
I am using SUN OS with version SunOS 5.8 SPARC
Everytime I check my disk space using "df -k" var is increasing like anything.
I am seeing messages logging under var/adm/ but I am not sure wheither to delete them are not.
Can anybody update how can I avoid var occupying this space.
Note: This is leading to very slow processing of applications.

Have a look in /var/tmp and /var/spool, both places where applications store temporary data.

The "du" command can be used to display how much space a directory and its files is using up. Use that to home in on your out-of-control growth.
I don't remember exactly, but I think maybe that the Solaris swapfile would appear under /var. If this is the offender, you'll need to IBM (Install Biger Memory).
If you're getting lots of messages to the logfile, fix whatever problem it's complaining about.
