GNU awk is used in 99% of all Linux and has some extended features the lack of which can turn simple solutions very ugly. Much like how GNU date's -d option is so convenient; "how do I subtract dates in shell?" "convert to seconds with GNU date and subtract" "I don't have GNU date" "Then try this 4-page shell script but not on leap years!"

Hi.

You can get the awk to behave the same way on all machines. The problem is that df doesn't!

On Solaris 10:
Code:
# df -k | awk 'NR > 1 {T+=$(NF-2)} END {print T/1024/1024 " GB.  90% of that is " T/1024/1024*.9 " GB"}'
32.4194 GB.  90% of that is 29.1775 GB
