Hi - I found a script on the web to check vmfs volumes on ESX servers and create an html file for the output. Sometimes the script works fine, but sometimes it seems to break at the "vdf -h -P" line. More often than not, when I run it myself it works - but when run from chron it usually fails. If you have any ideas on what I've done wrong, thanks in advance.
Here's the script:
######## vmfs_check.sh ##########
#!/bin/bash
LOGLOC="/var/log/"
LOG="${LOGLOC}vdf.html"
MYDATE=$(date +%d-%b-%Y)
VMFSYELLOW=85
VMFSRED=90
cat /dev/null > "${LOG}"
echo "<html>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<head>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<style>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "body {margin: 10px; width: 600px; font-family:arial; font-size: 11px;}" >> "${LOG}"
echo "div#footer {font-size: 9px;}" >> "${LOG}"
echo "</style>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "</head>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<body>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1"; style='border-collapse:collapse; background-color: white; color: black'>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<tr><th colspan='5'; align='left'; style='background-color: rgb(179,179,179); color: black'>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "VMFS Disk Usage - $MYDATE</th></tr>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<tr>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<td width=200><b>VMFS Volume</b></td><td><b>Disk Size</b></td><td><b>Used</b></td><td><b>Available</b></td><td><b>Percentage</b></td>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "</tr>" >> "${LOG}"
vdf -h -P | grep -E '^/vmfs/volumes/' | awk '{ print $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6 " " $7 }' | while read output ; do
DISKSIZE=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1 }' )

if [ $CUTPERC -ge $VMFSYELLOW ] ; then
WARNING="yellow"
fi
if [ $CUTPERC -ge $VMFSRED ] ; then

fi
echo "<tr><td style='background-color: ${WARNING}'>$VOLNAME</td>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<td bgcolor='${WARNING}'>$DISKSIZE</td>" >> "${LOG}"
echo "<td bgcolor='${WARNING}'>$DISKUSED</td>" >> "${LOG}"

Here's the output I get when things break:
