I'm not sure if you can place limitations on the size of the "trash," but if you can, you should. I just periodically check the amount of disk space left using: df -h Actually, my system (and a few others I look after) sends me an email every night that includes the output of df -h, but you probably don't need that. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
