Strange error for disk space alert email script
 

Hello, This script gives me a strange error after the mount was done on this server. (pasting the error at the bottom)
DATE=`date '+%Y%m%d'`
df -H | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk '{ print $5 " " $6 }' | while read output;
do
echo $output
usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1 )
partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
if [ $usep -ge 70 ]
then
echo "Running out of space \"$partition ($usep%)\" on $(hostname) as on $(date)" >/tmp/dfh.txt
df -H >> /tmp/dfh.txt
mail -s "$(hostname) -:- Alert: Level 1. Almost out of disk space $usep%" aabb@ld.com < /tmp/dfh.txt

IF df -h is run independantly this is what i get -

Cant get the problem!! please help!

It bugs when $usep is not a number, maybe from

192.168.2.7:/DataVolume/proddb_bkp
915G 433G 482G 48% /atamandb_bkp
192.168.2.7:/DataVolume/prodapp_bkp
915G 433G 482G 48% /ataman/app_bkp

df lines output

I am unable to get "output" - where are we getting it from

Basically those errors are saying that $usep is not being correctly extracted for use in the 'if' statements.
Try these 2 suggestions

1. add
to the top of the script; it'll show you exactly what the parser is doing/seeing

2. http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testcon...ml#DBLBRACKETS ie [[ ]] is more robust than [ ]

Maybe your $LANG is not set to english or us language ?
Try :

I changed [] to [[ ]], and did set -xv, somehow it does send me a mail when the script is run and alert matches but still gives me the same error.

This is the output i get when set -xv is done -

See ? The bug comes from the long lines :

192.168.2.7:/DataVolume/proddb_bkp
915G 433G 482G 48% /atamandb_bkp
192.168.2.7:/DataVolume/prodapp_bkp
915G 433G 482G 48% /ataman/app_bkp

df seems to break long lines with new lines

try add the -P df option (posix portability) which should avoid that

So the second line of script should be:

:) thanx!!
