Hi, I just saw that the notification work for me using the tool you supplied. One strange thing was that I got notified even though the amount of data I was using was reducing, so I hit the notification two ways +------------+----------- 1G ----> (got notified on increase) <---- (got notified on decrease) I am not against the behaviour, but it can be confusing unless clarified with the event. -- Balbir -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
