Hi i am having this problem with one of my solaris machines. the /var slice is filling up and if i don't check on a regular basis i might miss something. So what i have done set a cron job to email me everyday the df -k,which work ok, but what i am trying to do is to email if the /var slice gets over 90% capacity. I am new to solaris and scripting, can anybody help me out there cheers

#!/bin/ksh MAILTO="user@host.com" echo "df -k output for `date` `uname -a`" > /tmp/df.out case `uname -s` in SunOS | Linux | OSF1 | UNIX_SV | FreeBSD ) if [ -s "/etc/redhat-release" ] ; then cat /etc/redhat-release >> /tmp/df.out ; fi set -- `df -k | sed -e 's/%//g' | awk '/^\/dev/ { printf("%s %s\n", $5, $6) }'` ;; HP-UX ) set -- `bdf | sed -e 's/%//g' | awk '/^\/dev/ { printf("%s %s\n", $5, $6) }'` AIX ) set -- `df -k | sed -e 's/%//g' | awk '/^\/dev/ { printf("%s %s\n", $4, $7) }'` ;; esac while [ $# -ge 2 ] ; do CAPACITY=$1 FS=$2 shift 2 if [ $CAPACITY -gt 90 ] ; then echo "$FS is at $CAPACITY %" >> /tmp/df.out fi done if [ `wc -l /tmp/df.out | awk '{ print $1 }'` -ge 2 ] ; then cat /tmp/df.out | mail -s "`date`" $MAILTO fi

thank you very much for your help. Worked like a charm....
