basic computer usage report

Our small company, about 5 users, need a basic script that scans mapped network drives (example: drive b,c,d, e, and f) for hard drive usage. This needs to send a report to myself in any type of basic notepad format (easy to read and decipher) for drives that have reached 80% usage... any ideas?

Um, this is for monitoring a Linux computer, right?

It is probably installed with a utility called Logwatch. Look in /etc/cron.daily/ for a program like "0logwatch" or something. This generally emails the root user a report of several things on a daily basis, including disk usage.
