Written by Andre Lerche, this plugin checks the
chosen mountpoint for free disk space.
It displays 4 different icons (red, yellow, green, unknown)
and a message box, depending on the free space.
The amount of free disk space is visible in a tooltip.
If you left-click on its icon, it opens the
mountpoint directory in the file manager.

The biggest difference between runwhen and other schedulers is that
runwhen doesn't have a single daemon overseeing multiple jobs.
The runwhen tools essentially act as a glorified sleep command.
Perhaps runwhen does nothing that at(1) doesn't, and there are
lots of things at(1) does that runwhen doesn't:
- runwhen doesn't change user IDs - thus it will never run
anything as the wrong user.
- It doesn't keep a central daemon running at all times -
thus it won't break if that daemon dies.
- It doesn't require any modifications to the system boot procedure.
- It doesn't log through syslog(3) - thus it won't make a mess
on the console if syslogd(1) isn't running.
- It doesn't centralize storage of scheduled jobs (or any other
per-job information) - thus unprivileged users can install and use it
without cooperation from root, and without the use of a setuid program
to handle changes.
- It doesn't send output through mail - thus it doesn't break
if there is no mail system installed.
- It doesn't check access control files - thus it doesn't gratuitously
deny users.

minirsyslogd is a minimalistic, fast and secure (through lack of bloat)
remote-only syslog receiver suitable for hardened log receiver hosts
and/or central log receivers that receive several gigabyte of logs each day.
It will not deal with local syslog data. It does not have a multitude
of configuration, alerting or scripting options. It will however
automatically split inbound syslog data according to IP address,
date and current hour, and do so as rapidly and (I hope) securely as
possible.
