Abstract

See full text

A script is created which accurately monitors filesystem usage. Initially, a filesystem is identified to be monitored. Growth parameters for the particular filesystem are stipulated which, if exceeded, will result in notification to an administrator of the system. Thresholds are set for the selected growth parameters. Script execution timing is set, and the script is automatically executed at the preset time intervals. Each time the script executes, a comparison is made between the system specifics and preset growth thresholds. If a filesystem exceeds a threshold, then notification is provided to the system administrator.
