Copperfield -

Include your platform in such posting, so that the multitude may
suggest tools for that environment.

In Unix, many of us simply use the rather powerful 'find' command, to
locate files in a certain date range or size.  In AIX, the Error Log
will have a JFS_FS_FULL entry where a file system has filled, in a
runaway situation.  But, certainly, a more sophisticated monitoring
method could be implemented, such as the one I wrote in C to monitor
file system levels as well as many other things in an AIX system.
