Once gain thanks so much guys
i just managed to get rid of the /var/tmp/havp directory
actually i was little in hurry for my earlier reply

what i did was i went to single user mode and did a rm -rf /var/tmp/havp
and it took almost more thn 4 hrs to delete the directory and contents
more thn 40 gb stuff housed in it

anyway way i put missing  scripts back in my crontab files and will check
tomorrow when all the users start usng the server.

I really do apprecite all ur help
thanks once again

regards
Fabian
