You want to look at Nagios. You get monitoring, and thus warning, before the file system falls over. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply]

Hello, A typical shell script solution would be `# df /partition \| perl -ne 'exit 1 if (/(\d+)%/ and $1 < 95)' && echo "Partition full in $(hostname)" \| mail -s "$(hostname) - Partition full" xx@yy.com` [download] But If you want a pure perl solution, then take a look at Filesys::Df and Mail::Send Other option, if you need a more complete soltution, is using a monitor system like nagios (which was recommended in first comment), munin, or zabbix Also, please read How do I post a question effectively?.
