Please stick to the rules. Do not bump your posts.

I have merged both the posts.

I don't want to be rude here but haven't you already tried this on your *nix box
or did you just made up this command while writing out this post.

And you should read the forum faq before posting.(No pleading!!!)

Here is the command you are looking for.
df -k | awk ' { if ($1 == "/apps/documentum/dba") {du=substr($5,1,index($5,"%")); if(du >= 98) {print $6 "is running out of space " $5 } } }'

Tinker it to your needs.
