cd /tmp

ls -al sess_*
this is what takes up most of it in case you do not clear up the same regularly.

rm -f sess_*

ls -al *.wrk
This comes up in case you use mod_gzip

rm -f *.wrk
now check what other stuff lies there

You should be very careful what you delete out of the /tmp partition. I would recommend having someone knowledgable have a look for you so that they can advise you on what is filling it up, and more importantly, why.

just to add .. do not delete mysql.sock and horde.log. they are much in need.

Just search for "tmpwatch" it is the right tool for the job (cleans up a directory for files that are older than X hours, does not touch sockets, etc.)

Yes don't remove your mysql.sock. I have never seen any issues removing the horde.log, what kind of issues do you run into?

Thanks
