I have a tmp file being created in my bootbank directory which is filling up the partition instantly, even if I delete the file. The files come in with the format "tmpXXXXXX" where the X's are random strings.
I tried lsof with no success. Can I please get some insight on how else I can see what the source of this file is? I do not have inotifywait as well since this is Esxi
Also, another alternative, which Is probably a hack way to do it. Is there a way I can prevent files with the format "tmpXXXXXX" from being created in the directory?
Thanks!

Looks a lot like mktemp, but I think ESX hosts may be off-topic here; perhaps superuser?

I thought mktemp but the format is tmp.XXXXXX which makes me think its another source
