On a similar note, you can use the statfs syscall command to check the size and 
usage of your file systems.  You can easily create a Rexx exec to monitor 
things and alert you when the sizes are above a certain threshold.  Probably 
there are other ways, too...

Something like this maybe as a starting point:

/*  Rexx */                                                 
If Syscalls('ON') > 3                                       
  Then do                                                   
    Say 'Unable to establish SYSCALL environment.'          
    Exit 99                                                 
End                                                         
Address SYSCALL                                             
fsname = 'SYSZFS.ROOT.TOR19A'                               
"statfs (fsname) st."                                       
Say "Allocated space  " st.STFS_INUSE                       
Say "Total space      " st.STFS_TOTAL                       
Say "Total free blocks" st.STFS_BFREE                       
Say "Percent used     " st.STFS_INUSE / st.STFS_TOTAL * 100

Find the largest dirs:
    cd /
    du -s * | sort -rn

Then change the dir to the one you want to look at:

cd /something
du -a | sort -rn  
   
 Or better since there may be a lot of output:

du -a | sort -rn > /u/userid/files.txt
