Finding free space

**t048** · 09-13-2005, 12:39 AM

Is there a command line program like [tt]df[/tt] that can determine the amount of free space on a partition, but prints out only that number so I can use it in a script?

Thanks for your help.

Assuming the following output:

Code:

saturn:~# df -h /usr
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6             9.4G  484M  8.9G   6% /usr

Code:

saturn:~# df -h | grep /usr | awk &#039;{print $4}&#039;
8.9G

Thanks. I knew it would be something simple like that. I was playing with sed and grep and perl. :-)
