Monitoring /tmp usage

Yeah - In client data, df doesn't even show it.  At the command line, tho, a plain "df" *does* show it - as Filesystem "none."  I am assuming Xymon is quietly, and normally quite correctly, ignoring any output that doesn't show an actual physical file system.

Has anyone tried monitoring any kind of RAMdisk before..?

It is possible that your problem stems from the fact that /tmp is type
"none" and that a grep looking for /dev would fail. I'm not exactly sure
what Xymon looks for, but I had to manually change some scripts
associated with BB to look for even ZFS filesystems which do not have
devices under / (or at least they don't appear to from df's POV).

Okay, so DISK is not impressed with me and just monitoring the physical
disk.  I am running a client on a remote VPS, and would like to keep an
eye on its /tmp, but not sure how or where to define that.  Or if?  Any
tips appreciated.
