I'm looking to be alerted when my disk is close to being full. Is there are way to do this?

There isn't a disk space alert tool from within the Linode Manger interface but you can create a script for this. I found a few links that provides examples on how to set this up.

I've actually used the script from the first link for my personal servers and it works as intended.
Seems to work well. Thanks very much.
this sounds great - -but how do I set things up so the script can send an email?
