Hello Allz,

Please review my following script. The purpose of the script is to check the file system every 5 minutes & if any file systems is exceed from 90% then raise an email alert only 1 time.

But the following script not functioning properly, mostly send an email that contain only Date, even if any file system exceed from ALERT=90%

###########################################
ALERT="90"
ALERT1="85"
DFH="/tmp/dfout"
DFM="/tmp/dfmail"
CHK="/tmp/hdsize-chk"
###########################################
EMAIL="Email ID"
SUBJECT="WARNING! Disk Usage of $(uname -n)"
MAILPROG="/bin/mail"
###########################################

rm -f $DFM
clear
echo
echo `date` | tee $DFM
echo | tee -a $DFM
df -h > $DFH
cat $DFH | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk '{ print $5 " " $6 }' | while read output;
do
  #echo $output
  USEP=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1  )
  FS=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
  if [ $USEP -gt $ALERT ]
  then
  echo "Running out of space \"$FS - ($USEP%)\"" | tee -a $DFM
  fi
done
if test -f $CHK
then
echo "Not Sending an Email"
exit
else
echo Sending an Email
$MAILPROG -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" < $DFM
echo Creating Tmp File
touch $CHK
fi
if [ $USEP -lt $ALERT1 ]
then
echo Removing Tmp File
rm -f $CHK
 
fi

which box do you have?
can you post the sample output of "df -h" from your machine?

Hi,

I am using Redhat Linux 5.0

Thank you.

I'd start by putting a shebang line on the first line of your script so we can be sure which shell will be used whether or not it is run from cron.

Something like:

#!/bin/bash

do
  echo $DFM

squirreled away in a .file:

   function space 
   {
      #  This function does a quick read and display of the File System consumption... 
      #     only it formats it in a more human-readable way... 
      df -kP |head -1 |while read a b c d e f g                            \

         $a                                                                \
