mail -a /tmp/file-to-send-togllug   gllug at gllug.org.uk

Or something like that.

No. /proc is a pseudo filesystem, and you might just find a big file
in there which is the same size as your RAM.


BTW, is there a good reason for having /tmp mounted as a ramdisk?
Before the howls start, I have installed hundreds of cluster systems
as pure ramdisk systems - ie they network boot and don't have any hard
disks at all, so I do know that this is all about.
Just curious as to why this is being done here.
