Lots of this disks I'm tracking are Databases that usually allocate disk space in roughly 1% chunks anyway, but under more normal conditions the exact count would be a problem. My custom notification script could be smart enough to check just the first xxx% with a --percent flag or something. Basically I can do a lot of with a custom notification script, so this seems like a great idea, much better (and easier to implement) than many of the hacks we've come up with. A simple notify-by-epager-with-stalking and notify-by-email-with-stalking script will out perfectly. thanks, mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
