#!/bin/ksh
# This script monitors available disk space.
# This script emails an alert when a locally mounted partition crosses a given threshold.
# Set your threshold percentage (do not include the % sign), email address, and excluded mount points, then add to crontab

# Add this to crontab -e for root
# Diskspace monitoring script
#0 6 * * 1-5 /bin/diskMonitor.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
THRESHOLD="90"
EMAIL="abc@abc.com"
# Excluded mount points *must* be pipe delimited
# "/proc|/export/home|Mounted" should always be included
EXCLUDE="/proc|/export/home|Mounted"
