SUMMARY: Script to notify users of a disk filling up?

My original query
------------------
> Does anyone have a nice script that automatically emails the users who are
> taking up the majority of space on a disk which is close to capacity?
> Currently I have to run :-
> mymachine> du -ks /home/ermintrude/* | sort -nr | head
> and email the users manually. I'm using the general threshold of
> 95% before I warn users to clean-up.

The scripts
-----------
A few asked whether I was using quotas on my systems, the answer is no, and
we are unlikely to in the future. I intend to play with the scripts received
over the next few days and then settle on the one. Note that some will just
mail the admin, not the users themselves (latter preferred). The ones
included below look the most interesting ;-)

Script 1
--------

# Set up variable for who is to be mailed
ADMIN_MAIL="unixadmin@globalfarmers.com"

# The maximum percent that the disk slices are allowed to grow to
MAXSIZE=95

# The Command to check the disks and strip out unwanted variables
DISKSIZES=`df -k |grep / |awk '{print $5}' |sed -e 's/\%//'`

# Take the input from the df command above
for percent in $DISKSIZES

do

# If the percent is greater than the maximum percent that the disk slices
are allowed to grow to
if [ $percent -gt $MAXSIZE ]
then


# Mail a df -k to the specified person(s)
df -k | mailx -s "Disk Space Problem on 'nodename' " $ADMIN_MAIL

fi

done

Script 2
--------

#! /usr/bin/ksh
DIR=/ADC/sys
HOST=`hostname`
/usr/bin/df -k | /usr/bin/awk '{print $6 " " $5}' | sed '/%/s// /g' >
$DIR/fs_usage
echo "The following file system/s is/are getting dangerously low on disk
space on system: " $HOST > $DIR/$HOST.usagemail
for size in $DIR/fs_usage
  do
    cat $size | \
while read line
  do
    /usr/bin/awk '$2 >= 90' >> $DIR/$HOST.usagemail
  done
  done
cat $DIR/$HOST.usagemail | /usr/bin/mailx -s "Filesystem Usage"
whoever@email-address.com,another-user-if-you-want@email-address.com

Script 3
--------

for i in `du -ks /home/ermintrude/* | sort -nr | head | awk '{print $2}'`
do
mailx -s "Clean up your directory" $i
done

Script 4
--------

#!/usr/bin/ksh

# This script will check a list of drives to
determine if they are below
# a specified threshold. If they are, it
will send an email alert.

cron, and execute quickly.

info.

time.
while read DRIVE LLIMIT
