Disk/Virtual Memory Free Alerts

I stopped relying on cloverleaf alerts to check for low disk space concerns so not able to answer your question off the top of my head.

I can share how I avoid having disk space fill up before I know it.

I’m running on AIX and schedule via cron to run my check_file_system_space.ksh script once an hour.

Here is an example cron entry that checks all my filesystems for any that are both 80% full and have less than 4 GBs free

Code:

#
#——————————————-
# every hour check filesystems for low space
#——————————————-
#
01 00-23 * * * /bin/ksh -c ‘eval . ~/.profile.cron /cloverleaf/cis6.0/integrator mda_global; check_file_system_space.ksh 80 4 >/dev/null’

Here is the check_file_system_space.ksh script in case you want to adapt some of it to your needs:


#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
# Begin Module Header ==============================================================================
#
#——
# Name:

After playing around with real number comparisons instead of integer comparisons, I discoverd a flaw in KSH that it only compares the integer part of the number.
