Product Description:
What is SpaceControl? What does it do?
SpaceControl is designed to be simple. Download the application, unpack the file and drag the application (the one with the hard disk icon) to your Applications folder. Launch SpaceControl. A text will appear in your menu bar showing how much free space there are available on your startup disk. Klick on the menu item and submenus will apere, showing information about all disks or volumes mounted on your desktop. If you want SpaceControl to start everytime you log on to your Mac you can choose that option in the Preference window. You can also make some choises about how you want the menu item to appear.
What will SpaceControl do if I run out of free space on my startup disk?
SpaceControl will warn you when the free space available on your startup disk goes below the choosen limit. You can change the limit at which you get a warning, in the Preference windows. When you break that limit, SpaceControl will warn you by changing the color of it's text in the menu and also put up a messagebox to warn you.

Since I started using Space Control, nobody's drive has filled up, so I don't feel qualified to rate Quality/Stability. But I like it so far.
Only caveat is: when configuring for smtp, my password is saved in the clear. Not good. So it severely limits what systems I can set this up on at the moment (just desktops that don't travel, so the smtp server can be the ISP.) I would really really like this one thing to be fixed.
I would also like to be able to get notifications on non-boot drives. This would be useful for backups that need pruning occasionally. Carbon Copy Cloner, which I like, does not do email notifications on failure, such as one caused by No Space Left On Device.
Another suggestion: It's helpful that the setup includes suggestions for minimum free space, which, traditionally, have been 10-20% of the drive capacity. However, a recent macintouch.com discussion proposed 10x your RAM (has to do with swap space, I think), and more if you use something like Photoshop that needs scratch. Perhaps the suggestions could be updated, if this RAM angle is accurate.
Thanks for a very useful utility!
