Do you have nawk in the /bin directory?
What is the output of which nawk?

Is the script executable (chmod)?
What is the output of ls -l formatDF.nawk ?

did you make 'formatDF.nawk' executable?
did you specify the correct path to formatDF.nawk?

could also use something like:
Code:
df -k | cat | while read a b c d e f
do
printf "%-40s %10s %10s %10s %8s %-50s\n" $a $b $c $d $e $f
done

the problem is the hardcoded length of the columns

could make display ##### if the column length is exhausted (could also change the code to raise an error message)
Code:
df -k | cat | while read a b c d e f
do
[[ ${#a} -gt 40 ]] && a="########################################"
[[ ${#b} -gt 10 ]] && b="##########"
[[ ${#c} -gt 10 ]] && c="##########"
[[ ${#d} -gt 10 ]] && d="##########"
[[ ${#f} -gt 40 ]] && f="########################################"
printf "%-40s %10s %10s %10s %8s %-40s\n" $a $b $c $d $e $f
done

output of which nawk:
$ which nawk
nawk=awk

output of ls -l formatDF.nawk

$ ls -l formatDF.nawk
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ravi ravi 796 Feb 16 06:25 formatDF.nawk

Try this if you have the nawk file in your current directory:
Code:
df -k | ./formatDF.nawk
