Hi currently my cache drive is 240GB but with all the automated downloads and moving of files it quickly gets full. It has a schedule to move around 3am but was wondering if there was way to create a cron job I'm assuming to start mover when disk reaches 70%?

If you were clever enough it shouldn't be too difficult to create a cron job that checks frequently if it is full enough and then kicks off mover.

or use the scheduler addon - my mover moves once a hr

I don't think it about being clever or not, just I don't know what it is and how to do it but I'm sure I will find out

Ha I bet your cache gets to 70% pretty quickly with 204 meg down internet !!! (wish i had virgin in my area, but im stuck with 32 meg  bt fiber)

You could use something like this

#!/usr/bin/php
<?PHP
$moveAt = 70;

$diskTotal = disk_total_space("/mnt/cache");
$diskFree = disk_free_space("/mnt/cache");
$percent = ($diskTotal - $diskFree) / $diskTotal * 100;

if ( $percent > $moveAt ) {
  exec("/usr/local/sbin/mover");
}
?>

Either create a cron job to run this at when you like, or use it with the user.scripts plugin and have it run say every hour.

 

EDIT: added this to the user scripts additional scripts thread

@gridrunner yep recently it has getting full daily as I figured out how CP could upgrade all my old dvdrips to 720p+ so it was constantly on the go.

 

VM also do 300Mbps package for £30 extra a month! But I wont be paying for that any time soon...

 

@Squid your help is always appreciated
