Re: /tmp accidentally filled - SOLVED, thanks to the help

As a result of the suggestions made on this list, I rebooted into the CLI, checked, and /tmp was completely empty. I then rebooted into the GUI - and /tmp had the same files, by name. But it is no longer reported as 100% full, and there do not seem to be any more problems. Thanks, guys :-) Li
