You can write a script that checks with "df" how much space is left and cut out the percentage with awk for example and write it into a variable, which is tested with "test" and/or "if". Only problem will be to tell your application to write into the other directory. Not sure how much of an option you have to configure it's output directory and if it must be restarted or if something like a "kill -1" can make it recognize the changed configuration.
The script itself is easy and a good excercise when being new to Linux/Unix
