I knew there was something like cut, and sed and awk are *vey* useful. I'll admit tho that I need to learn more about these. I have some uncomitted time this weekend that I'll put towards learning more about these tools.
Something like doing a df -h and adding up the net total of disk space would be nice. These tools should help accomplish that.
This may be slightly OT but if you are interesting in being able to tell at a glance what your uptime is, along with a lot of other useful stats, check out gkrellm. http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html It's totally cool and gives you a central, graphical way to keep tabs on your system. -- J.W.
