	There's a very easy way to keep on top of things in order to
avoid the full directory problem. Simply create a shell script that
does a df every day and run it from cron - the server admin will get
a report each day of the disk usage:

	#!/bin/sh
	echo "Disk Usage Report"
	echo " "
	/bin/df -h
	echo " "
	exit

	Just open a file named something like disk_usage.sh in vi or
pico. Enter the above listed 6 lines, save the file, make it
executable (chmod +x disk_usage.sh) and set up a crontab to run it.

	Peace be with you,
