First, i do not understand what you need the temporary file for and you SHOULD AVOID backticks:

Code:

df -k /oradata/xyz/archive > dfk.result
archive_capacity=`awk -F" " '{ print $5 }' dfk.result|grep -i %| cut -c 1-4`

could be replaced by

Code:

archive_capacity=$(df -k /oradata/xyz/archive|awk -F" " '{ print $5 }' |grep -i %| cut -c 1-4)

But, honestly, whenever i see a awk|grep|cut i know there is something deeply amiss. All that grepping and cutting can be done inside awk, but i do not now what your exact df-output is, so it is hard to suggest what the awk-line should exactly look like.

Furthermore, this:

Code:

if [[ $archive_capacity > 60% ]]

cannot work: the ">" operator of the test-utility is not understood by all versions of test but even the ones that do only compare integers and "60%" is not an integer - it is a string. You should get rid of the "%" sign when you create the $archive_capacity content and then do like:

Code:

if [[ $archive_capacity -gt 60 ]]

first, this is an integer operation and second "-gt" (greater than) is an operator every test will understand.

I hope this helps.
