Hi,

Did u mean u want a script to check the file system disk usage?

The below is a simple example :

if [ $OSTYPE = "Linux" ]; then
/bin/df -kl|grep -vi used|grep %|sed 's/\%//' > /tmp/disk.txt

awk '{if($5 > 90) print $5, $6}' /tmp/disk.txt > /tmp/alert.txt

/bin/mail -i -s "File system/s on $HOSTNAME is/are almost full @ $Date!! Please check!" your email address < /tmp/alert.txt

Provided your linux are able to send out mail.

Thanks & Best Regards
HM

Hi,

You can use mailx in your script to mail the file to any email id. You should add the following in your script after creating the file:

/bin/mail/mailx -s "subject... " your-email-id@xyz.com < /file/to/be/mailed

There is diskcheck package (http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/diskcheck.html), which was into RHL/Fedora.
For some reason the latest RHEL/Fedora don't have it, but you can use diskcheck for reference anyway.
