Question Monitor capacity of directory
Good morning.

I have been attempting to find a way to monitor the capacity of a directory so that when it reaches 80% or higher I can send an event.

I was able to find a script that does this for the whole drive by I can not seem to figure out how to do this for just a single directory.

Code:
ADMIN="myemail@someplacecool.com"
# set alert level 90% is default
ALERT=60
df -hl | egrep -ve '/lcl/prd/apps/Tivoli/playground' | awk '{ print $5 " " $1 }' | while read output;
do
  echo $output
  usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1  )
  partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
  if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then
    echo "Running out of space \"$partition ($usep%)\" on $(hostname) as on $(date)" |
     mail -s "Alert: Almost out of disk space $usep" $ADMIN
  fi
done

As you can see from above I am attempting to get the capacity of /lcl/prd/apps/Tivoli/playground and if its 90% or over then it sends an e-mail.

However when I try this is the results...
Code:
"test.sh" 14 lines, 586 characters
seville:/lcl/prd/apps/Tivoli/playground>./test.sh
capacity Filesystem
./test.sh: line 10: [: capacity: integer expression expected
81% /dev/md/dsk/d10
0% /devices
0% ctfs
0% proc
0% mnttab
1% swap
0% objfs
0% sharefs
0% fd
1% swap
1% swap
67% /dev/md/dsk/d100

I am not very good yet with shell scripting so I am kinda stuck here.
Any help would be great.

Thank you.

-----Post Update-----

Figured it out.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
space=`df -bhk /lcl/prd/apps/Tivoli/playground | cut -d "c" -f1 | awk '{print$5}'`
capacity=${space%?}
echo $capacity
if [ $capacity -gt 70 ]; then
echo "Getting full! $capacity"
else
echo "Below percent trap."
fi

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

acpibat

ACPIBAT(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						ACPIBAT(4)

NAME

     acpibat -- ACPI Battery

SYNOPSIS

     acpibat* at acpi?

DESCRIPTION

     The acpibat driver supports ACPI batteries.

     The battery status is made available through the envsys(4) API.  The battery information can be displayed also with the envstat(8) command:

       $ envstat -d acpibat0
		       Current	CritMax  WarnMax  WarnMin  CritMin Unit
	      present:	    ON
       design voltage:	14.400					      V
	      voltage:	16.267					      V
	   design cap:	74.880					     Wh
	last full cap:	48.260					     Wh
	       charge:	47.910			    5.000%   0.414%  Wh (99.27%)
	  charge rate:	   N/A
       discharge rate:	16.641					      W
	     charging:	   OFF
	 charge state:	NORMAL

     Depending on the battery, the unit of measurement is either watt-hour (Wh) or ampere-hour (Ah) for the capacity related information.  From
     these the ``charge'' is usually the most interesting value, but it is possible to derive useful information also from the other values.  For
     example, when acpiacad(4) is disconnected, the ``discharge rate'' gives a coarse approximation of the current power consumption.  The ratio
     between the design capacity and the last full capacity on the other hand reveals the overall ``health'' of deteriorating lithium-ion batter-
     ies.

EVENTS

     The acpibat driver is able to send events to powerd(8) daemon when a capacity state has been changed.  The new state will be reported as the
     fourth argument to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_battery script.	If a custom capacity limit was set via envstat(8), the acpibat driver will
     report a user-capacity event to the same script when current capacity limit has been reached.

SEE ALSO

     acpi(4), envsys(4), envstat(8), powerd(8)

HISTORY

     The acpibat driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

BUGS

     The ACPI specifications make a distinction between ``control method batteries'' and ``smart batteries''.  The acpibat driver only supports
     control method batteries.	Furthermore, acpibat does not yet support some additional battery information introduced in the ACPI 4.0 standard.
