Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory Synopsis: New diskcheck program available Advisory ID: RHBA-2001:152-03 Issue date: 2001-11-07 Updated on: 2001-11-07 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: diskcheck python low disk space notification Cross references: Obsoletes: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Diskcheck, a program supplied with Red Hat Linux 7.2, does not function properly as shipped. This version corrects the problem. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.2 - noarch 3. Problem description: Diskcheck, a small utility supplied with Red Hat Linux 7.2, is used to optionally notify the System Administrator when disk space on one or more partitions drops below a pre-defined level. Several problems with the program caused it to not function as intended. Additionally, the sample configuration file contained syntax errors. All known problems have been corrected. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 54578 - New python diskcheck has several errors in default config file, script 55069 - Error when filesystem contains '$' character 6.
