In Unix, many of us simply use the rather powerful 'find' command, to locate files in a certain date range or size. In AIX, the Error Log will have a JFS_FS_FULL entry where a file system has filled, in a runaway situation. But, certainly, a more sophisticated monitoring method could be implemented, such as the one I wrote in C to monitor file system levels as well as many other things in an AIX system. Richard Sims
