how to prevent multiple email notifications from monitoring script
Hi everyone,

I am in the process of trying to decide the correct way to solve a particular scripting/email issue I have and would appreciate any advice.

We have a cronjob running every 10 mins to check disk size on the server and if this exceeds a certain percentage then it will email a notification warning out to relevant people.

However once the first email has been sent I would like it to refrain from sending a fresh email every 10 mins until the disk size have been resolved - maybe then just send a reminder every hour or two.

The only way I can think of (with my limited scripting knowledge) would be to create a separate file which would be used as a 'checking' file to see when the last email was sent. So if the checking file indicates that an email was sent in the last hour then no emails will be sent etc.

Hope this makes sense as did not want to write a long expanse of details. Also this is to run on Solaris 9.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Si
