Hi all:

So recently I had an issue where my ATV2 totally ran out of space. So much so that I couldn't even use the rm function, I actually had to use the truncate function first. So I decided to create a script to monitor my disk usage. Here is what I have so far:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
df -H | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk '{ print $5 " " $1 }' | while read output;
do
  echo $output
  usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1  )
  partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
  if [ $usep -ge 70 ] && [ "$partition" = "/dev/disk0s1s2" ]; then
    echo "Running out of space \"$partition ($usep%)\" on $(hostname) as on $(date)" |
     logger "Alert: $partition Almost out of disk space $usep%"
  fi
done

I've set mine to write the alert to syslog since I have my syslog sent to a remote monitoring server, but one could also configure it to send an email. I just realized that cron doesn't seem to be installed on the ATV2 which is a slight set back to my plans of having this script run nightly. Has anyone got cron running on an ATV2 or have any other ideas for scheduling this to run?
