Shell Programming and Scripting

I have the following script:

Code:

df > df.txt
scp df.txt username@192.168.1.2:~
rm df.txt

Its purpose is: Send disk space usage report to another machine

Because it is now included in a shell script that is invoked by a cron, it makes maintenance harder. I would like it to be on a single line such that it would require maintenance from the cron file itself. What would the code look like if it were to be one a single line?

Thanks in advance

The simplest way:

Code:

df > df.txt; scp df.txt username@192.168.1.2:~; rm df.txt

pardon for the intrusion, but in my opinion, invoking all the commands using cron is not a good idea. A better solution is invoke that shell script through cron.

same idea here

I agree, but figaro says:
So I think that's what he doesn't want.

A more appropriate way to do something like this would be using SNMP.
