Jeff I'm looking for a software utility which can run on an Alpha server platform, to watch for free disk space and send an E-mail when a certain threshold is reached. Is this possible? Regards Yves Lebeuf |
Yves Yes! I have written such a utility in DCL
which runs as a spawned subprocess or as a batch job. It's
called ALERT_DISK.COM
and is available from my Utilities
or DCL
page. Each process running this command
procedure monitors one disk, and if the amount of free
blocks goes below a specified limit, and OPCOM message is
issued, and eMail is sent to specified users. If an alert is issued, the process
suspends itself and wait until the amount of free disk space
goes above another specified limit before it rearms
itself. Jeff Cameron
