I'm not sure of the right way to help you in the long term, but if you<br>
want a quick hack, you might try something like:<br>
<br>
1. Install a cronjob that runs every few minutes. 2. When it runs, it should check the available space. 3. If it concludes that space is low, pop up a warning.<br>
<br>
Warnings can be simple X or pygtk programs (see the 'dialog' Linux<br>
scripts for ideas). To get this hooked up to the running X display,<br>
you'll need to set some environment variables:<br>
<br>
DISPLAY=:0<br>
XAUTHORITY=/home/olpc/.Xauthority<br>
<br>
Ask if you need more help.<br><font color="#888888">
