Re: how to remove files when the monitoring space goes beyond the expected range

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

you can use the monit's "exec" action on the space usage match with custom 
script, which will find and delete the files, for example (not tested):

        if space usage > 99% then exec "/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/find /mydata/ 
-type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;'"


Regards,
Martin
