i have something like this in my shell's start up file, so every time i log on, i will get a warning if it goes over 90%....customize it to your liking:

Code:
#### check disk space on filesystems listed
filesystems=(/ /boot /storage1)
for fs in ${filesystems[@]}; do
    disk_space=`df -h | grep -E $fs$ | awk '{print $(NF-1)}'`
    max_space="90"
    disk_space=${disk_space:-$((max_space-1))}
    [[ "${disk_space%'%'}" -ge "$max_space" ]] && { clear ; echo -e "\nWARNING...DISK SPACE ON \"$fs\" IS AT $disk_space\n"; }
done
unset filesystems fs disk_space max_space
####

In the array "filesystems" i have the mount point of every filesystem i want to check...

I guess the important part for you is the "${disk_space%'%'}" part, which will strip off that '%' sign

NAME
prealloc - preallocate disk storage SYNOPSIS
name size DESCRIPTION
preallocates at least size bytes of disk space for an ordinary file name, creating the file if name does not already exist. The space is allocated in an implementation-dependent fashion for fast sequential reads and writes of the file. fails and no disk space is allocated if name already exists and is not an ordinary file of zero length, if insufficient space is left on disk, or if size exceeds the maximum file size or the file size limit of the process (see ulimit(2)). The file is zero-filled. DIAGNOSTICS
returns one of the following values upon completion: 0 Successful completion. 1 name already exists and is not an ordinary file of zero length. 2 There is insufficient room on the disk. 3 size exceeds file size limits. EXAMPLES
The following example preallocates 50000 bytes for the file WARNINGS
Allocation of file space is highly dependent on current disk usage. A successful return does not indicate how fragmented the file actually might be if the disk is approaching its capacity. AUTHOR
was developed by HP. SEE ALSO
