If you are looking for differences since last run of over 30Gb rather than just current size, you could probably write a process using the output from the du command, assuming that it is available in your OS.

Depending how you want to monitor, you could try something like (in ksh):-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

current_file=/tmp/current    # Pick what you like here
previous_file=/tmp/previous

mv $current_file $previous_file
du -ks /home/* > $current_file
paste $previous_file $current_file | while read prev_size dir1 curr_size dir2
do
   ((delta_size=$curr_size-$prev_size))
   if [ $delta_size -gt 3072000 ]    # I think that this is 30Gb~ish
   then
      # Take some action
   fi
done



Does that help?

NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
