We use a homegrown shell script called "spoolfull". It looks at
the output of df for the file system in which /usr/spool resides,
and if it goes below a threshold (say 1Mb), runs "mv /usr/lib/uucp/uucico
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico-stopped", then sends mail to the sysadmins.
Trivial enough to write.  If you're worried about the uucico currently
running when uucico is stopped, get the PID out of ps(1) or the LCK..infeed
file and kill it off. Run spoolfull from crontab every hour or whatever.
