Re: email notification when HDD fills up

["sysadmin" <sysadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use this in a script. YMMV:

 

touch /tmp/mail.txt
USEPERCENT=`df / | egrep / | gawk '{print $5}' | sed s/%//`
echo "${USEPERCENT}"
if [ ${USEPERCENT} > 75 ]
then
mail you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -s "Warning, / is at ${USEPERCENT}" < /tmp/mail.txt
rm /tmp/mail.txt
fi

Subject: email notification when HDD fills up

Hi guys,

 

Another question now. If the hard drive fills up, is there any way that when you have only a certain amount of space free, to make the system send to you a notification email ?
