- I suggest you get a book called "UNIX System Administration", by Nemeth, Snyder,
- and Seebass, published by Prentice Hall. This is the classic book that every
- Unix Admin should have. Among other things, it has a script called "spacegripe"
- which you can call from your cron. It looks for partitions that are getting
- full, and automatically sends messages to disk-hogs. Unfortunately, the real
- problem arises when people choose to ignore these messages. What can you do
- then?
-
- By the way, if you use NFS and NIS (formerly yp), you should also look into a
- book called "Managing NFS and NIS" by Hal Stern, from O'Reilly & Associates,
- Inc.
