>>Hi,
>>
>>Earlier last night My whole network Crashed as I ran out of Disk space,
>>
>>The Services "crashed" and took with it the IRCD and ProxyScanner -
>>
>>when i re-started them all - the services would not start, I Had to Delete
the Services Databases and re-start them again as the databases became
corrupted (When i viewed them, they were blank Except for the channel.db But
it would not Read it) - Once i >>deleted them, I started the services, and
they are fine now... (I have up-graded my HDD too)
>>
>>But the main issue is, Can you not Make it so the services send GLOBOP
Message or somthing and an "error/sorry" message to the user (Who-ever
issued the command) If the HDD Space Get's low..
