Thank you Neil

So this would be an external script for me to put in the ext folder and
then call it using the bbwin.cfg file correct. I am trying to understand
the external scripts more and I have been doing a lot of reading. I wish I
were more of a programmer.

The host in question is a windows server. I should have mentioned that in
the initial thread, I did read previously where it could be done with ease
in the non-windows world but have found nothing for windows. It has a cifs
share presented to it and we are trying to avoid having that particular
folder grow beyond 3GB.****

Does anyone know of a way to monitor the size of a folder? I am not a
programmer so I figured I would reach out to you and see who might have
done this already or knows of
someone who has been successful.****

Hi !


Something like in

analysis.cfg

HOST=server1
DIR %^/var/log/.* size<2000000 TRACK

and in client-local.cfg

[server1]
dir:`find /var/log -maxdepth 1 -type d`

cheers,
