A formatted df script or alias ... ???
Hi gurus,

Does anyone have a df script/alias that is sort of "universal"?

Just getting frustrated to use bdf for HP-UX, df -h for Linux and Solaris, df -G/g (???) for AIX ... and to make things even worse, some are NFS mount points or with long logical volume name and it extends over two (2) rows ... Smilie

At the moment, I want to write a script that will always run "df -k" and then check for whether it is HP-UX, Linux, SunOS or AIX and then always include the option to convert the output into gigabytes. If anyone has heard of bdfmegs, am kinda wanting to write something similar to it.

I've tried Google and can't find any but bdfmegs ... Smilie

Perhaps someone from the forum had already written something to what I wanted and willing to share it to the forum?

Any feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

try `xdf' ( the 'exquisite' df )
search sourceforge for xdf - cross-platform (mostly unices) df enhanced ;

- it has quite a few options - from csv to html output , you can choose just the columns you want to see ;

- very simple to compile and install ;

(*) but most importantly - syntax and results are all lookalike from cygwin to aix / sunos / hpux / linuces ...

give it a try ... Smilie

xdf ( Exquisite df ) | Download xdf ( Exquisite df ) software for free at SourceForge.net

good luck , and success !
