Clearing of /var/tmp/logs

Question

Hi all,
Until now..we are clearing the logs manually by
find /var/tmp -name '*.dbg' -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;
Now...needed to write a script..when ever the /var/tmp mount point reaches a threshold of 90% the above command should fire...
How can i do the above...
thanks,

Removing those logs is usually done not by database, but by OS commands, manualy or automatic.
The best thing for you would be to write simple shell script, place it in the cron and schedule execution intervals based on you instance activity.
You will need few variables in that script , one of them will propably be for holding the value got from os specific disk usage command and one for
holding your desired treshold value.
Then you could use if-then-else logic to compare those two values through those two variables and when matched execute your removal command.
