Can't you tell I'm a cPanel user?

but only reason why I mentioned it is because I simply said I used the similar steps you posted above above; to expand my /tmp on a cPanel server instead of using /scripts/securetmp

Just incase if anyone is looking to know how to do that on a 'cPanel Server'.

Questions could be asked: "Can I do this on a cPanel Server?" -Simply, yes...trying to simply avoid a lot of posts.
