Thanks.
Well, I'm looking to try something that
1) finds all volumes with du at 90% or more;
2) reports on the user usage for those volumes;
3) mails an admin with the results when needed
Since they are dragging their feet on quotes here, I thought it would
be a good thing to try and learn a little more. My way probably isn't
the best, but its a good learning vehicle for the moment-- I was proud
I got this far!
The questions out there until the basic thing works are commented:
1) how to make human-readable [-h] and sort correctly? (my initial
question here)
2) how to get the name of the volume found to be at 90% capacity from
the df command to the du command. Maybe I need to output to a temp
file, use a variable, or it requires something a bit more involved. If
so, I'd be happy to just be directed to the proper topics/techniques so
I know what to look for when searching for help.
#check usage on 90+% volumes
#VARIABLE for volume name?
#how to make human-readable [-h] and sort correctly?
sudo du -c -h -d 1 /Volumes/MA | sort -r -n
#mail to admin
| mail -s "Disk Usage Report" email@hidden
