in the root crontab, about the follozing entries (currently commented out 
by me):

#CZ30 0 * * *  /root/check.tables
#CZ22 23 * * * du -cs /* > du_slash_`date -I`
#CZ23 22 * * * du -cs /home/aras/backup/* > du_home_aras_backup_`date -I`
#CZ27 22 * * * du -cs /home/aras/acis/* > du_home_aras_acis_`date -I`
#CZ33 22 * * * du -cs /home/* > du_slash_home_`date -I`
#CZ36 01 * * * du -cs /var/lib/mysql/* > du_var_lib_mysql_`date -I`
#CZ39 01 * * * du -cs /var/* > du_slash_var_`date -I`

Are they any good? The machine crashed twice after du -cs /* > 
du_slash_`date -I`, as far I can see, and I just tried du -cs /home/* > 
du_slash_home_`date -I` which took several minutes with full load, and the 
machine was not responsive for a while after that. This worries me.
