So you suggest to add something in crontab ? Why not... Chmouel, do you think it would be a good idea to add this in, say, /etc/cron.weekly, mailing the failure to root@ or something ? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

After installing 8.1 again, it now shows up on my main work station. I will check a little closer tonight. Dave

Or did I missing something in the partmon script? Work stations which are turned off and on a a frequent basis would detect the condition, but machines on continuously would not have the check done again. I have a file server running 7.1 which just crossed the 1 year continous run, and a work station using 8.1 that until a week ago had been running 4 months. Just my 2 cents worth, but perhaps having the script run on a periodic basis, generate an email (configurable) on detecting a potential problem, make its presence known somehow when the limit(s) is crossed, allow configuration of the partitions and sizes would enhance its usefulness. regards Dave

I don't think so, it's more of a generic service for all people to check if the disks are not close to full. Besides, no one answered to my monday mail on the subject, so I assume everyone here is happy with it :-). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

[Cooker] Drakx 1.622 - Tonights install results
Hi, 1. On boot disks, advanced.msg file has wrong spelling for security 2. console gets constant message: Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers at /usr/bin/perl-install/my_gtk.pm line 317 3.Help screen for "Class of Installation" makes no mention of the new button "Update packages only" 4. '/' has directory /swap, any reason for this? 5. msec modifying /etc/group to add nogroup,xgrp,ntools,ctools immediately after users. Can these 'required groups' added below 500 and made part of the default groups in package setup? Its a real pain to have to move these after the install. 6. The Services to start display shows apcupsd under the Printer group, it should be under Other or System, since it is the APC UPS monitoring daemon. 7. The last few installs have resulted in my X display being compressed to 80% of usual width, and 110% of height. Just started to happen with the 4.1.99 XFree stuff. I tried all different setting combinations of monitors, resolutions etc, during the installation, but any visible combination always resulted in the distortion. BTW, normal text displays are fine. 8. Noticed that 'partmon' seems to be partially in place. Would it not be better to create a seperate partmon package, rather than adding it to the initscripts package? 9. What is the reasoning for having the "No X" selection for a minimal install, in addition to the Base system and With X selections? Dave
