If you were in the root directory, and you typed:

rm /tmp * -Rf

Then you deleted your entire hard drive.

Do you have *anything* on the drive?

If the workstations aren't booting now, you may have a problem.

Hopefully, you were IN the /tmp directory.

Check and make sure you have a tmp dir, if not, you can re-create it
with:

mkdir /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp

if you're missing more than your /tmp, then it's time to restore from
your nightly backup.
