Hi Sudhansu,
Its not like that your command will stop working.The only thing that would
happpen is ; you wont be able to get information about old users login
related information.

Thats it...u can go ahead with this in my opinion.

Subject: [HPADM] /var file system full

Hi on one of my A500 server, the /var file system has gone upto 82%. I
could
see /var/adm/wtmp has grown to a large extent. Can i trim this file using
cat /dev/null > wtmp? I could see some docs on HP site that "who" command
will not work if this is done. Can somebody explain what to do?

Thanks and Best Regards
