Subject: Low disk space warining for VMS?
Hello all,
I vaguely remember that TOPS-20 had a neat feature which would issue warning
messages to the operator when disk space got below a certain level. Does VMS
have a similar feature? I have dug through all of the manuals that I think
this info should be in and haven't found anything.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony Petit ( alp@uno.bitnet)art@MITRE.ARPA (Art McClinton) (08/15/87)
The release notes for VMS 4.5 Section 3.2.12 provides such a procedure.
It is a command file to be submitted to a batch que. It can be modified to
allow any site specific operation that you want. I have seen it used
to delete temporary files, notify the users, etc.
