Output to csv contains quotes
I borrowed scripting information from thread
Quote:
111391-script-monitor-disk-space-usage
and modified it for our environment to uuencode it and mail a csv to me. The issue I have is the output contains quotes that hinder the csv use appropriately.

My script looks like this

Code:
 
cd /tmp
df -Pg | awk 'BEGIN{
print "\t\t\t SPACE OF IMPORTANT FILE SYSTEMS\t\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n FILE-SYSTEM\t TOTAL-SPACE\t USED-SPACE\t FREE-SPACE\t %USED\n"}
function disp(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5){
printf "%-21s\t %10s\t %13s\t %10s\t %5s \n",v1,v2,v3,v4,v5
}
NR>2&&(($3>($2*.80)&&disp($6,$2,$3,$4,$5))||($3>($2*.40)&&$3<($2*.80)&&disp($6,$2,$3,$4,$5))||($3<($2*.40)&&disp($6,$2,$3,$4,$5)))
END{print "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n"}' > email.csv
uuencode email.csv email.csv | /bin/mailx -s "$HOST diskusage usage" email@email.com
rm -rf email.csv


The output looks like this when pulled out of the csv

Code:
" SPACE OF IMPORTANT FILE SYSTEMS "
------------------------------------------------------------------------
" FILE-SYSTEM TOTAL-SPACE USED-SPACE FREE-SPACE %USED"
"/usr 5.00 3.37 1.63 68% "
"/var 3.00 2.35 0.65 79% "
"/tmp 3.75 0.05 3.70 2% "
"/home 2.00 1.30 0.70 65% "
"/admin 0.06 0.00 0.06 1% "
"/proc - - - - "
"/opt 3.00 1.52 1.48 51% "

If I can remove the quotes from the output, the spreadsheet works perfectly (since this is now the practice I have to do to get it to populate the rows and columns correctly.)

What can I do in the script side to remove the quotes from the end product?

I appreciate any input.
