[PLUG] /var partition full


my RedHAt 7.2 machine had it's /var (500M) partition fill up on me
yesterday. it had a 330M mail file for root. there were mostly the system
messages and output from my automated backup. what should i do to prevent
this partition from filling up in the future? and is there any existing
tools that will notify me if as the partition approaches maximum capacity? 

thanks
Chris
