I need a script that emails if the CPU load goes above a certain threshold and also if disk space on several partitions exceeds a certain percentage.

do you want to pay for it?

Great; so where are you stuck?? Post your efforts and show us what you've done, and we can help. Otherwise, there are LOTS of existing scripts you can find easily with a brief search to help get you started.

We aren't going to write your scripts for you...read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature.

An existing script. CPU load is not essential. I downloaded and installed two different Perl scripts that come up in a search and none of the work.

Ok, so again: post what *YOU* have done/tried, and provide details. We are still not going to write your scripts for you, and just saying 'none of the work' tells us nothing.

And after using Linux for FIFTEEN YEARS at this point, a small script should be something you can easily do.

Webmin?

You completely missed the point and the focus of the question. I am not interested in doing development now (on a production server) and then submitting the code for peer review and debugging and going through that process. I needed something "yesterday". If I had time to write it, I would not be inquiring here. In light of the fact there is a gazillion scripts that already exist and already have been written and debugged and it's pointless to reinvent the wheel. I was hoping to get a link to one based on the forum knowledge, not a "Why don't you do it yourself" response. If you don't know any, your response does not add any value to the discussion.

I most certainly *DO* know how to do this, as do all of the other responders here.

What we ALSO now know is:

• You are getting PAID to do a job
• You don't WANT to do the job
• You expect US to do it for you, for free

Want a program written for you? Then PAY SOMEONE to do it. Same is true for anything else in life, from painting your house, repairing your car, or cooking your food. Pay someone, or do it yourself.

Again, you don't have to 'reinvent the wheel'...you just have to modify something slightly, which you are apparently unwilling to do, and you're even unwilling to look any of this up for yourself, and want us to do it and give you a link. You said you had already FOUND two (and don't say which ones), then said they don't work (but don't tell us WHAT doesn't work/errors/messages/ANYTHING).

And I think you completely missed the rules of this forum.
From the other hand you gave no real information, therefore we cannot suggest you anything else but look for something suitable. You are the only one who knows the details and the requirements. Oh yes, do not try two perl scripts because they won't work. Try something else.

Apparently, he has a KSH script that already works well:
