Hi Bob,

Quick & dirty solution : schedule a cron job running every minute on the BSD box piping the output of df to a file that's available to VFP (eg. via samba or ftp). Check the contents of the file from VFP when you need to.

Regards,

Liam

I need an activex control that I can run on my VFP form every 15 minutes to check the disk space on that BSD Unix box.
