Question available disk space on disk device???

Hello,

Can someone please tell me which command to use to determine the available disk space on a given disk device?

I have to write a shell script that compresses files and stores them in a specific location but I am not sure how "conservative" I should be?

Thanks in advance!

Al.

Alan,

Please read the rules of this site on the newbie page at the top.

Homework is strictly forbidden on this message board.

Please continue to post since you are new to unix, but try to use the search tool first to help you find answers to basic questions.

also, www.google.com is a great way to find out these types of homework related questions.

comands to view the disk usage on a linux/unix box

try this to show you the usage of your hard disk on all users and put them in to a file called space_report.txt in your home directory.

du -s * | sort -nr > $HOME/space_report.txt

or df .
