Hello everybody, I have a ftp -server. I use a harddisk of 9 Gb for the ftp-directory. This isn't very big so I want to throw away the oldest file if the disc is full. I can write a cronjob that checks every minute. But isn't there another solution; Can't I just write a C program that listens to some systemcalls and automatically deletes the oldest file if the harddisk is full??? I hope someone can help me? Thanks, Koen
