Send Disk Space Usage Status via email
Hi Guys,

Is there any way I can write a script that sends DISK SPACE USAGE STATUS via email once a week?

Thanks,

Yes, there is.

Sorry, but as long as you do not tell us more about the specifics of your environment and what exactly your problem is (you do not expect us to do your work for you, do you?) we can't help you any better than that.

You can create a cron job like this
Code:
# crontab -l
1 1 * * 0 df -lk

Thanks Guys, I got it working by installing POSTFIX and MAILUTILS.
I write the following script to find out the disk space and put it into text file and I use php mail function to send it to my email Smilie I
Code:
#!/bin/bash
HB=/home/user/Desktop/heartbeat.txt
df | awk '{print $5}' | sed -ne 2p | cut -d"%" -f1 > $HB

Instead of that four stage pipeline, you might try this:
Code:
df|awk -F '[[:space:]%]+' 'NR==2{print $5}' > "$HB"

The NR==2 replaces the sed stage of the pipeline and the more complicated field separator gets rid of the need for the cut stage of the pipeline.
