We have 5 NeXTstations networked together here, and one of them runs the
nifty little NeXT lazer printer...  Here's the problem -->  It's FULL!

The /private/swapdisk/tmp directory has somebody's files on it, and they
aren't logged on anymore.  These files have filled it up, and it isn't
accepting anything to print.  

If we shut off the NeXT's, we get our account susspended, so is there
any Unix commands I can tell it to make it purge all the crap that is
just sitting there?

It is supposed to have at least 30 MB of space left.  Somebody told me
that is goes through and purges every 30 min, but it has been 4 hours!

Airgh!!

I'm very anxious, due to the fact that my program listing and research
paper are due tomorrow morning... and I can't print them.

I'm sure you all know how that is.
