Also, depending on the severity of the crash, I would DEFINITELY inspect the tmp db with great scrutiny before using it! Lol, I know this is probably silly, but I have to admit I did check my DIR again this morning looking for tmp files.... Lol... Just scared the hell out of me knowing my hard drive could be consumed so quickly and uncontrollably. This gave me an idea and wonder if anyone has a suggestion. Here is a thought: Trigger that runs a template that sends an email with the remaining HD space. The question is how to get that. My db's are scattered so I can just calculate the total of a simple DIR and I don't know of a easy way on OS9 to get the HD space into a template. Anyone?
