Recently it has come to my attention that the SAS UE VM can run out of space in /tmp permanently, as revealed here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Analytics-U/How-to-clear-up-space-in-WORK-folder/m-p/337139/highl...

I am really surprised that SAS has not implemented a mechanism that cleans up any remnants of crashed previous workspace server sessions when the VM starts (which is basically a system boot, I think).

 

So I suggest that at least running the cleanwork utility is implemented at startup of the SA UE VM.

Better cleanup at system boot time for University Edition would be a good idea.

 

In the meantime, if you need to clean up files in /tmp, Jupyter notebook or JupyterLab gives you an easy way to do that manually.

 

For example to delete all the files in /tmp

1) Open JupyterLab

2) Create a Python notebook

3) Put this command in the notebook

!rm -f /tmp/*

4) Run the notebook
