Depending on your OS this is usually set by 2 things. The first is the filesystem type that has a limit of a maximum file size. The second is your ulimits.
On Debian Linux for example you can edit it at:
/etc/security/limits.conf
On AIX for example it is:
/etc/security/limits
Using the command ulimit -a should show on most/any OS'es which limit is currently set. Look for "file size" or "fsize" or something similar.
Check what size a file has might not make much sense on a file that can be filled up rapidly, maybe more rapid than you script checks. Just as a thought without knowing your environment.
Usually people check space in filesystems with df and send a mail or trigger something else when a threshold has been reached.
