Linux var log files are among the things that you should know when working on Linux systems. I don't yet know all their contents, but I can remember a few of them from earlier debugging sessions. I came across these in search of an expression to give me the largest files present on my system.
# du -ha /var | sort -n -r | head -n 10
The result from this command on my system was:
1004K /var/www/user_journeys/manual_cut_out_list.docx
996K /var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-7-doc.list
980K /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/build/vmxnet
976K /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/build/vmci/common
968K /var/log/auth.log.1
920K /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.12.20/build/vmsync
912K /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml
884K /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.1.12/build/vboxsf
880K /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-3.5.0-18.list
864K /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-3.2.0-57.list
Darn, did you ever have trouble remembering just how you did this and that on your Box???
