Hi,
I have received off-list email regarding my posting about using nagios vs. some home-brew disk space monitoring mechanism. I don't have the time to discuss this at length, but I'd urge everyone not to waste their time with meta discussions. We need disk space monitoring, and we need someone who wants to set it up and maintain it. binghe volunteered, and I am confident that he'll come up with something that works and that he likes to keep running. Most importantly, it is something that he likes to do. I find it rather unpleasant to read advice from people with respect to the tools. We are not an operation where some tells someone else what to do, we do what we like for a common good.
If you feel like you're in a tell-me-what-to-do-operation, I'll gladly play boss for you.
