I'm not sure what 3 plugins you are trying. I am using a bash script with a little df and awk thrown in:
The whole script does a lot more, but the key part is this: The critical and warn percentages are in $CDISKUSAGE and $WDISKUSAGE, respectively. Note that this will check all file systems, including CDROM, removable disks, etc. So you may need to modify the call to df a bit to make it work for you. Hint: try the -t or -x arguments to check only the file systems you are interested in. function checkdiskspace() { local retval df -Ph | awk " { if(int(\$5)>=$CDISKUSAGE) { print \"CRIT\", \$0,\"<br>\" } else if (int(\$5)>=$WDISKUSAGE) {print \"WARN\", \$0,\"<br>\" } }" > /tmp/$$ cat /tmp/$$ retval=0 grep "^CRIT " /tmp/$$ >/dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then retval=2 else grep "^WARN " /tmp/$$ >/dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then retval=1 else echo "All disks OK" fi fi rm -f /tmp/$$ return $retval } Edwin Zoeller wrote: > I hope someone can help and explain this to me.
