The creation of a shell script that monitors the disk space and notifies the user when the amount of available space drops below a predetermined level is described in detail in an article published by TecAdmin.



A Shell Script to Check Disk Space and Send Alert

It is important to monitor the disk space on a Linux server to ensure that there is enough free space available for new files and applications. If the disk becomes full, it can cause issues such as system crashes, data loss, and other problems. To prevent these issues, you can use a shell script to monitor the disk space and send an alert when the available space falls below a certain threshold.

In this article, we will walk through the process of creating a shell script that monitors the disk space and sends an alert when the available space falls below a certain threshold. We will use the df command to check the available disk space and the mail command to send the alert.
