Disk space checker

[Joshua Gould]

Hello,

I searched on Google without any luck. Is there a standard or highly used disk space checking script that someone could point me to? I'm sure I could write one but no need to reinvent the wheel.

Thank you,

Joshua

I know of nothing standard. The one I use
should be available at:

http://antinode.org/ftp/misc/disk_check.com

I haven't looked at since I wrote it
(23-FEB-2001) so it may be sub-perfect.
(No bets on overflow in calculations on
large disks, for example.) But the basic
concepts might be sound.

Joshua,

there exist many variations to this theme.

I myself posted
http://dcl.openvms.org/stories.php?story=04/05/27/8944070

but if it is not what you need, skim true dcl.openvms.org and there alone you will find more than half a dozen.

Have fun!

Proost.

Have one on me.

Joshua,

As a side comment, if you are writing something, I would suggest that you take a look at the formats for the T4 data collected data files.

The format is straightforward, and if you adhere to the format you will be able to include the space data in your analysis should it become necessary.

Hi

Here is an old DCL-procedure that may be used as is or as a template.

Joshua, there's a Freeware utility called FREE ( http://vms.process.com/scripts/fileserv/fileserv.com?FREE ) that displays all of your disk usage data.

It doesn't have a monitor utility, but could easily be adapted through DCL to monitor.

Joshua,

I use a variation of the old RoboVAX script of Kevin G. Barkes' DCL Dialogue which monitors disk space among other things.

HTH,

My rewrite of Jeff Camerons disk_space.com,
which handles big numbers, displays MB or GB in addition to blocks, uses no temporary file:
