Many thanks for the reply and idea. I was wanting something similar to diskcheck in which I could set defaults, excludes filesystems and certain types etc, implement some warning thresholds and limit paging.
I have some scripts for HPUX, so I might just try to "port" them. If I do, i'll post it. Thanks again. ------------------ Marvin Blackburn Systems Administrator Glen Raven "He's no failure.
