Your script does not work for several reasons.
The du -x ... is run in the current directory.
root's home directory is / so it takes very long to traverse all the files. Then, the du output consists of numbers and directories. The for loop cycles through all of them. The code in the loop is run over and over again.
Now you know why it takes so long.

Once upon a time I created a script that rotates HP-UX system log files.
Useful on systems that are not regularly rebooted.
It is run by the crontab entry:
And the executable /usr/lib/newsyslog looks like this
If you have understood it, you can add more things to the LOGS= strings.

Here's my problem: the $1 parameter is getting permanently set when you dot-run a script - and I cannot unset it.
Here's how to duplicate the problem:
1) Create a script called testme and put this simple command in the script:
echo 1=$1
Save the script
2) Make the testme script... (12 Replies)
I'd like to create a cron script that checks filesystems. For example if it reaches 95% USED, I'd like it to send me an email. Can this be possible for up to say 4 filesystems using the df -k command? Any samples to get me started would be much appreciated. (7 Replies)

script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
