Bash monitor disk usage
I bought a NAS box which has a cut down version of debian on it.
It ran out of space the other day and I did not realise. I am basically wanting to write a bash script that will alert me whenever the disk gets over 90% full.
Is anyone aware of a script that will do this or give me some advice on writing one?
Answer
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/profile
# Device to check
devname="/dev/sdb1"
let p=`df -k $devname | grep -v ^File | awk '{printf ("%i",$3*100 / $2); }'`
if [ $p -ge 90 ]
then
df -h $devname | mail -s "Low on space" [email protected]
fi
Crontab this to run however often you want an alert
EDIT: For multiple disks
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/profile
# Devices to check
devnames="/dev/sdb1 /dev/sda1"
for devname in $devnames
do
let p=`df -k $devname | grep -v ^File | awk '{printf ("%i",$3*100 / $2); }'`
if [ $p -ge 90 ]
then
df -h $devname | mail -s "$devname is low on space" [email protected]
fi
done
