This is a start. Save it as an application with "Keep Open" checked and I think it will work.
Be aware there are probably other ways to get this to happen, including the XServe monitoring tools or crontab or what-have-you...

I'd like to find a way that each editing computer (MacPro) can email the needed people that such and such hard disk is only 20% empty. Is there a way to do this through AppleScript? I'd like to apply this to three computers, one running OS 10.5 Server and the other two running OS 10.5. The MacPros running 10.5 have three HDs each that I'd like to keep track of.
