Скачать или смотреть Creating a Disk Usage Tracker in Bash

In this video, I demonstrate how to create a disk usage monitoring script using core Bash commands. This lightweight and efficient solution checks the current usage of the root (/) filesystem, compares it against a threshold, and prints a warning if usage exceeds a certain percentage.

You’ll learn how to use df to check disk space, extract output with awk, clean data with sed, and write conditional logic that reacts to system state. This is a perfect beginner project that brings together essential Bash tools for real-world system health tracking.

Key takeaways:
Use df to gather real-time disk usage data.
Combine awk and sed for parsing and cleaning command output.
Leverage conditional statements to create alerts based on resource thresholds.
Scripts like these can be automated with cron for regular monitoring.
Simple Bash scripts can have a big impact on system reliability.
