Linux Shell Script To Check Disk Usage Is Out Of Space
Script that check used space on all mounted devices and warn if the used space is more than the threshold. In this scenario we were using 25% of disk, that's why threshold is so small.
Linux Shell Script
#!/bin/bash
threshold="20"
i=2
result=`df -kh |grep -v "Filesystem" | awk '{ print $5 }' | sed 's/%//g'`
for percent in $result; do
if ((percent > threshold))
thenpartition=`df -kh | head -$i | tail -1| awk '{print $1}'`
echo "$partition at $(hostname -f) is ${percent}% full"
fi
let i=$i+1
done
Test Script Result
bobbin@linoxide:/$ df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 52G 4.7G 45G 10% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 1.9G 192K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.9G 2.6M 1.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 92G 22G 66G 25% /home
bobbin@linoxide:/$ ./df_script.sh
/dev/sda6 at linoxide.lviv.example.com is 25% full
Learn Above Shell Script
#This set threshold value
threshold=”20″
#Counter, will be used later, set to 2, since first line in df output is description.
i=2
#Getting list of percentage of all disks, df -kh show all disk usage, grep -v – without description line, awk ‘{ print $5 }’ – we need only 5th value from line and sed ‘s/%//g’ – to remove % from result.
result=`df -kh |grep -v “Filesystem” | awk ‘{ print $5 }’ | sed ‘s/%//g’`
#for every value in result we start loop.
for percent in $result; do
#compare, if current value bigger than threshold, if yes next lines.
if ((percent > threshold))
then
#taking name of partition, here we use counter. Df list of all partitions, head – take only $i lines from top, tail -1 take only last line, awk ‘{print $1}’ – take only first value in line.
partition=`df -kh | head -$i | tail -1| awk ‘{print $1}’`
#print to console – what partition and how much used in %.
echo “$partition at $(hostname -f) is ${percent}% full”
#end of if loop
fi
#counter increased by 1.
let i=$i+1
#end of for loop.
done
