Scripts for calculating size and remaining space of a directory automatically.

leonall · #1 (**permalink**) 12-12-2005

I would like to create a script for calculating size and remaining space of a directory automatically every 24 hours, then send an email to report to the admin.

* POSIX and PERL are preferred.

Can anyone help, please?

the command is simple, you can use

df|awk '{print $1 $3 $4}' | mail username

To make is check every 24 hours, you ll have to set this command as a cron job.
