[Proposal] control storage systems

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

I read that IBM plans for its management software, Tivoli, to support
monitoring of file/storage systems.

This seems like an interesting idea for monit as well, kind of a next
natural evolutionary step for monit's ability. From the top off my
head I was thinking along the lines in the monit controlfile:

 if filesystem /usr/doc/* is > 90% then alert address@hidden
 if filesystem /dev/hda1 > 90% then alert address@hidden

 if filesystem /dev/hda1 > 90% then 
   remove temporary files {*.bak, core, *.trc, *.tmp, *~ }

 Other suggestions?

What do you think?
