linux shell script

Uour PHP script doesn't work, because you need to cut out the trailing M/G in your "du -hs /var/www/html/" result.
And just exactly how do to that, I'm not perfectly sure right now. if you don't want to use "du -s" instead and use "if ($tmp > 100000) then mail;"

Your* ... alittle typo there.

here you have the script but in bash:

#!/bin/bash
USAGE=`du -s /var/www/html/ | awk '{ print $1 }'`
if [ $USAGE -ge 100000 ]; then
(echo "To: (yourmail adress here)"; echo "Subject: 100 Mb or more on html drive";  echo "Dont drink and drive." )  | sendmail -t
fi
#End

maybe you have to put the entire path to sendmail if you run it as a crontab

except 100000 is not 100 MB it is 100000 Kilobytes and 1024 kilobytes is one megabyte therefore 102400 is the number you should be comparing against.

BTW php ---- do you want this to be a web script?  If not go for the bash version, there is no reason to kick on the php engine just to run this simple script.

thanks i upped the amount of points for ya now i want one more thing !

say i got multiple directories under the /var/www/html
like
/var/www/html/mrgood
/var/www/html/howareya
/var/www/html/testw
/var/www/html/wert


now i want to evaluate each one without multiple scripts because i could remove and add or rename the names of the folders at any given time !
but basically the above script should email me if one of those folders goes above 100mb !
RAISED 100points more total 150!

maybe some kinda for loop in there or something

we can create a for loop that loops through each directory in /var/www/html/
#!/bin/bash
USAGE=`du -s /var/www/html/ | awk '{ print $1 }'`
if [ $USAGE -ge 100000 ]; then
(echo "To: (yourmail adress here)"; echo "Subject: 100 Mb or more on html drive";  echo "Dont drink and drive." )  | sendmail -t
fi
#End
for dirname in /var/www/html/*
do
      if [ -d $dirname ]; then
           USAGE=`du -s /var/www/html/ | awk '{ print $dirname }'`
         if [ $USAGE -ge 102400 ]; then
            (echo "To: (yourmail adress here)"; echo "Subject: 100 Mb or more on  $dirname";  echo "Dont drink and drive." )  | sendmail -t
         fi
       fi
done

--warning I did not test this because I don't have my webserver set up but I dont' know the dirname stuff works (I did test that) if da99rmd's stuff works this should work also

actually that is bad also I just noticed the du statement returns the wrong thing


change the USAGE line to this

 USAGE=`du -s /var/www/html/$dirname | awk '{ print $1 }'`

change the USAGE line to this

 USAGE=`du -s $dirname | awk '{ print $1 }'`

sorry can you reprint a working version real quick ?
and recommend a tutorial on shell scripting

or better yet set me the way to make it appear in my logwatch daily ?
