Asdemonstrated by the tmp files I believe.Since user interaction with the site causes these updates, I cant see aspider being an issue, unless I missed the significance of that.My log files are about 3 gigs per month in size and as such would be a bitof an issue trying to get through them.But here is the weird thing...This was occurring with some regularity from midday tues. till about 10minutes before I 'accidentally' noticed the files in the DIR. Since removingall the tmp db's from the dir it has not occurred since, when I KNOW the dbhas been updated.I guess I really need to start by understanding 'when and why' WebCATcreates a tmp db, and under what context would it keep creating itindefinitely.God help me if it had happened on another db that was 20-30 megs in size.Within in a few hours I would have a dead server! It seems that whatever thecause of this, the logic of WebCat creating tmp file indefinitely, quietlyfilling up a HD is insane.
