DISK_FULL_ACTION (Original)

DISK_FULL_ACTION <action> <volume> <limit>

Enables FairCom DB to monitor available disk space and to shut down the database engine when the disk space falls below the specified limit.

This configuration option can include an environment variable name that will be substituted with its value when the configuration file is read.

You can include more than one DISK_FULL_ACTION in a server configuration.

Scriptable actions are supported. See DISK_FULL_ACTION Script (DISK_FULL_ACTION (SUBSYSTEM), DISK_FULL_ACTION (SUBSYSTEM)).

This keyword can be specified multiple times.

This keyword is independent of the DISK_FULL_LIMIT and DISK_FULL_VOLUME keywords.

DISK_FULL_ACTION shutdown "C:\Users\Administrator\My Documents" 1 GB

Unix Examples
