[rhn-users] RHEL3 box hanging at login

[caranas at lexmark.com]

Hi Tom,

I'm new to Linux.  Maybe you could help me.  How will I make such that if 
my /var directory is 70% full it would send me an email.

Hoping for your favorable response.

Thanks and more power.

That was true as well, 89% full in fact. I have setup a notify at 90%, 
so I had
better take that down to 70% to be safe.

Thanks,

Tom
