[Solved] Filesystem getting full. Need a monitoring script
Hi,

I am new to shell scripting in unix HP-UX.

I need to determine how much a perticular file system is full and if it goes over 80% it should notify through mail about which are the files which are greater than 1 GB size.

I used df -k command it is showing the alloocated KB and the %used in that FS. But how to get it through script and find the files > 1 GB.

Can anybody advise?

check_disk from Nagios will do the job:

Code:
bash-3.00# ./check_disk -w 80 -c 90 -m -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 7523 MB (37% inode=90%);| /=12381MB;20026;20016;0;20106

A good start is looking and the options offered by find command...
another hint:
Code:
ran:/ $ df -k /opt/patrol
/opt/patrol            (/dev/vg00/lvol12      ) :   303614 total allocated Kb
                                                     55351 free allocated Kb
                                                    248263 used allocated Kb
                                                        81 % allocation used
ran:/ $ bdf /opt/patrol
Filesystem          kbytes    used   avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol12    307200  248263   55351   82% /opt/patrol

Thanks for the advises.
I have done this. to find out larger files in the directory.
Code:
find /prod/logs -type f -exec du -k {} \; | sort -rn | head -10

Read about -size in your find man page.

I have read the man page of find command. My intention is to get the files over 100MB from a directory, so i used this code


Code:
$ find /prod/logs -type f -size +100M -exec du -k {} \; | sort -rn | head

find: Error in processing the argument 100M

I am getting the error "find: Error in processing the argument 100M"

But when i am using this
Code:
find /prod/logs -type f -size +100 -exec du -k {} \; | sort -rn | head

i am getting the outputs.

Can anybody advise how to use -size option ?

But what does the man page say about the -size option ( in what? usually blocks or...)

This is the option I use on a AIX for greater than 1GB: -size +2000000...
