Task
22. Write a script that checks the disk utilization on your machine and have
it send a warning email to your team list of the utilization gets too high.
Use your best judgement in determining how much is too high.
Steps taken:
I decided to run this script every 12 hours, a cron job under the username
airmeryll. It runs at 6:18am and 6:18pm
crontab -e
18 6,18 * * * /home/airmeryll/bin/utilize.pl
The perl script, /home/airmeryll/bin/utilize.pl will mail our
group if disk utilization (I used df -kl ) goes above 85%.
I actually don't think that 85% is critical - because we only have a couple
more days of class but I do want to get early notification.
I wrote the script so that it shows usage in kilobytes and percentage and will
also flag us if percentage is increased by more than 5% in 12 hours.
