I need to write a script to run on an xserve, Tiger, to send an
email,
say to the sysadmin if the inventory of any of the internal hard
drives have been removed or changed. Can someone help, I am just
beginning to learn scripting. I've been looking for one that exists
already but haven't found one yet.
You really, really need to be more specific about "inventory of
the internal
drives" here. Do you mean raw size, new files, what?
I need to know if the drives have removed (unmounted and pulled
out, possibly replaced) so I guess with that said I need to know if
the disk is not mounting or if the disk changes. So since each
internal hard drive has its own serial number, I need to know if
that changes, whether it was removed or differs. Probably new
files as well.
Maybe the 'diskutil list' and 'diskutil info /Volumes/xxx' commands
can be of some help. I don't know if there's any alternates available
-- if there were, I'd use them because diskutil is kind of slow.
