Automatically check your remaining hard drive capacity
nixCraft published a perl script that automatically checks your hard drive capacity and emails you when your disk space is running out. Many people and businesses use a dedicated Linux computer to backup their data on a regular basis using cron (”man cron” if you don’t know what it is). This is really convenient because you rarely have to check-in on the Linux computer. However, with the new script published by nixCraft, you will be notified when your hard drive capacity is nearing the limit you set, and you will have to check-in on the Linux computer less frequently. This is a very helpful script and very easy to setup. As always, please leave your thoughts in the comments.
