I know that if file-max is reached I get the line: "Too many open files in system" in my messages log. What can I expect the system to log in messages? Is there any list or documentation? Can I setup the kernel to log warnings when reaching some limits (eg. 80% of something), or is it something I need to build myself with sar, vmstat etc. ? Is there any tools or add-on (free or commercial) that can help us in monitoring the system with warnings and alarms more than just sa1 and sa2 in /etc/cron.d. Thanks Claes Lindvall Sweden

You can, for instance, setup quota limits to monitor disk space usage. You might want to look here: http://www.kernel.org/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64327 Cheers!
