[unix-pc.general] smgr and "Hard Disk Almost Full" pop-up

wnp@killer.Dallas.TX.US (Wolf Paul) (05/05/89)

I am currently running near capacity on my 40M hard disk, and am being
constantly annoyed by the "Your Hard Disk is Almost Full" pop-up.

Is there a way to turn it off?

I presume that it is produced by "smgr"; I would love to stop using
smgr and run cron instead, however I would like to retain the date
display at the top of the screen.

Is it possible (and has anybody done so) to write a program just to
display and regularly update the clock display, while using cron
instead of smgr?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Assuming you're running 3.5 as I am, you can

*	$ su
*	# adb -w /etc/smgr
*	upd_time+1be?i
	upd_time+1be:		bge.w	upd_time+236
*	.?w 6000
	upd_time+1be:	6c00	=	6000
*	.?i
	upd_time+1be:		bra.w	upd_time+236
*	<EOT>
	# 
(*) = you type

which causes smgr to think there's lots of space regardless of your usage.
