neat program is coming together nicely, after disk usage and error checking got much else you want to add to it?

not sure yet. having a blacklist would be nice for certain things i dont wont diskspace to be checked against. Stuff like snaps tend to be a virtual mount with 100% disk usage so its going to constantly send off the alarm

yep adding something like that would be helpful. couldn’t you just do something like df -ht btrfs which will only list the specified type of filesystem and skip out stuff like virtual mounts and stuff and is an easy fix?

the blacklist will just be a dynamic grep inversion so anything you specify will be matched against the command being run

neat that could be a tricky one, you gonna do a blacklist for the whole program for stuff like failed services as well or just the disk usage stuff?

just the disk stuff. You shouldnt really need a blacklist for the services one but ill build it in anyway

yep after you’ve got disk stuff done should be easy enough todo for services as well, i mean I still have that mce failed service on my system which would probably trigger it all the time.

So i added the blacklist functionally and i found a bug. If there are no errors then a message will popup anyone saying that there is a error XD
