Disk Space Monitoring Script - OLD and NEW
It's the old thread "Disk Space Monitoring Script", modified for UNIX


This is the new code:
Code:
df -k | awk ' { if ( int($4) > 90) 
 {subject = $1 " More than 90% disk usage. Used: " $4
  email = "email@test.com"
  print subject
  cmd = "mailx -s \"" subject "\" " email
  cmd  | getline #or system(cmd)
  close(cmd)
 }
 }'

Maybe you want to fine-tune your filter to remove devfs, procfs and use human readable values.
Code:
df -h | awk '$1 !~/fs/ && int($5)>90{print $1 " More than 90% disk usage on "$1", available: " $4}'

In the same time you can try to remove unionfs/nullfs mounts if any...etc

Hi,
The $4 variable is for used disk space, not for available space

Thanks

Depend on the operating system Smilie

Code:
# df -h
Filesystem                     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md0                       174M    162M     12M    93%    /
devfs                          1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
procfs                         4.0K    4.0K      0B   100%    /proc

# df -h

Sorry, but this command doesn't work on AIX, only with '-k' flag is ok
