-
- I should point out that you can modify the output of the "spacegripe"
- script to generate a "top 10 disk hogs" list that you can append to
- /etc/motd. This is one alternative Nemeth, et al discuss for getting
- people to clean up their directories w/o the sysadmin having to send
- them reminders over and over again.
-
- My only objection to this script is that it is written with csh syntax
- (eech!). `
