	Does anyone know whether smgr checks for absolute space remaining,
or for a percentage of space remaining, as the warning in the /etc/profile
does.?

	I'd prefer a tunable absolute value, which was read from a file set
up by the user, defining the number of free blocks at which he would get the
warning.  It could do like cron, and check if the file has been modified
since last read, rather than re-reading at each check.  I know that edf
(which I use) gives a nicer report format, but if we have to have smgr
running, can't we have it reporting according to the limits WE want enforced?

	DoN.
