Filesystem alert script file

[Donald C Nelson]

Does anyone have a script file that can email Admins if a filesystem is over a certain percentage used. We used to have a Patrol Agent monitor this but the new version of Patrol will not support HP-UX 10.20.

Donald,

I think I remember one in one of Bill's "favorite sysadmin scripts" threads. Here's a link to the latest, which contains links to the previous two:

Donald,

There are a few old threads with a lot of sysadmin scripts.

Donald, in all truth, there's better than this one... but, it's one that was written long ago, and still works... so it's still used.

This one checks out just one system that we worry about often. Youll have to chage it to cover more disk systems, different disk systems, etc.
This is run via cron and the output is piped out via mail command to a list of users.

#
# disk check
#
export stat_tmp="/tmp/statck.a4"
echo "\n /a4 DISK SYSTEM"
echo " ------------\n"
echo " /a4 Disk Utilization "
echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "
bdf /a4 > $stat_tmp
head -1 $stat_tmp
grep -v ^Filesystem $stat_tmp | sort -k 5

echo "\n Is /a4 Over 80% Full? "
echo " - - - - - - - - - - "
integer FULLCT=`grep -v ^Filesystem $stat_tmp | \
grep -e "8.%" -e "1..%" | sort -k 5 | wc -l `
if [ $FULLCT -gt 0 ]
then
head -1 $stat_tmp
grep -v ^Filesystem $stat_tmp | grep -e "9.%" -e "1..%" | sort -k 5
else
echo " ... No it is not, no need to panic "
fi

hmmm, sorry I don't like percentages on its own: 20% of a 10MB filesystem is nothing, 5% of a 1TB filesystem is a damn lot of space.

regards,
Thierry.

checkit=$(bdf | grep -E "9.%|10.%" | wc -l)
if (($checkit > 0))
then
mailx -s "$(hostname) filesystem warning $(date)" root
