Can you help. My server sunning solaris 9 on x86 platform pretty much hung for a few hours... I could not use telnet or ssh to the box - it kept refusing connection. A few hours later - I was able to log in again.
The server has not rebooted but here are the first errors in the messages log file:
Mar 17 19:01:01 host11 tmpfs: [ID 518458 kern.warning] WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded

Mar 17 19:16:00 host11 genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING: Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 15140 (cron)
As far as I can see - everything looks fine currently.
# swap -s
total: 54104k bytes allocated + 63904k reserved = 118008k used, 1308268k available
# df -k /tmp
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 1308716 124 1308592 1% /tmp
Is there anything I can to find out what caused this error?
And is there anything I can do to prevent it occuring again?
I have not rebooted the server in 7 days - so hopefully there might be some evidence somewhere as to what caused it. Any help is appreciated.
