I know this is a terrible idea but I need to disable the dump file
RTx::Shredder normally makes. Our server is out of space and I need
to shred tickets but don’t have enough space to have a dump file. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Perhaps symlink the normal dump file to /dev/null

Can you write to stdout, /dev/stdout or something like that and then redirect
it to /dev/null or, better, ‘ssh host_with_disk_space cat >dump_file’?

If you send it to stdout it’ll likely get logged in your apache logs or
something like that - which will just move your disk space problem to
another file. You can’t redirect it to two places though (stdout and
null).
Netcat might enable you to write it to a different host. Its been a while
since I’ve used netcat.
If its just one partition that’s full and you have other partitions with
space you could temporarily symlink the dump file to a file on another
patition.

Modify the shredder perl code so it doesn’t create the dump file?

Can you mount an nfs share or a USB disk? Those would be
the quickest solutions to your problem. Probably also the
safest.
