Modify this:
Code:
#df -m >tmp_log_anal

so you write out to tmp_log_anal with that line of info.
I was not sure the param's you used when you gave me the results of your command; hence I commented it out but pasted your response manually into the tmp_log_anal file. (a little cheat-around!)

So the size is 8064M. So once it hits around 7257M I would like an email fired to me and my boss.
not that I am expert, but this should get you going:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
a=`df -k | grep /archlogs | awk '{print $5}'`
if [ ${a} < 90% ]; then
     mailx -s "Yo bro,  you're logs are full man ${a} used" someone@noone.net
fi

you might need to modify the vaiable a though.

edit: I missed the above responses... they are probably better.
