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)

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.
