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
