script for checking disk space
 

Hello All,

I want write a script that checks space of directories on linux server and if space is more the limit then send mail to perticular user.

Can any one help me in this regards?

Thanks in advance,

Sure we can help, but could you post any leads on what you've done so far, or are we supposed to write it from scratch ourselves?

i done something like this
 

hello,

#!/bin/bash
DIR=/home/pralay
masg="you are occuping"
cd $DIR
du -s -h $DIR | sort -rn >spa
mail pralay -s "Your space Utilization" <spa

now i want that to append the whatever in masg variable has to append in massage body after space is coming from spa.

One more thing is that i also want it for all users.

Regards,
Pralay

Youll have to put in your own host name and $limit.


-------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#limit is space in bytes adjust it as necessary
$limit=2000000; # about 2 gigs

$howmuch=`cd /home;ls|xargs du -s`;

@lusers=split "\n",$howmuch;

foreach $luser (@lusers){
@luserspace=split " ",$luser;
if (@luserspace[0]>$limit){

system ("echo 'Get your space below $limit or your data is forfiet'|mail -s \"YOU A BIG FAT PIG\" @luserspace[1]\@yourhost.com");
}
}

----------------------------------------------
