I host a site on a shared server that, recently, is constantly sending me emails about running out of space. This account is a small (100MB) account, and when I go into cPanel and look at the disk usage, /tmp/urchin is usually the culprit (most of the time > 75MB).
I cleared them out Wed, and by yesterday it was full again.
I was going to complain to my host about it, but then I realized I wasn't sure how those were supposed to be cleared out.
I wasn't sure if they were supposed to auto-magically evaporate, or if I should setup a cron job or something. I've never run into this before so I was hoping one of you might be able to shine some light on it.
Well, you shouldn't really have a problem rm'ing files in tmp. That's what tmp's for. The only problem that you might have is if you remove the temp files of a currently running process. Do you know what process is putting temp files in /tmp/urchin? You could set a cron job to delete that dir, but the better solution would be to find out why they are there in the first place.
