I have following script to check disk usage



 #!/bin/bash

# set alert level 90% is default
ALERT=10

OIFS=$IFS
IFS=','

storage=$(df -H | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk ' print $5 " " $1 ')



for output in $storage ;

do
echo "---------------@@@@@@@@@ output started @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@-----------"
echo $output
echo "---------------@@@@@@@@@ output end @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@-----------"

usep=$(echo $output | awk ' print $1' | cut -d'%' -f1 )
echo "---------------###### useo started ######-----------"
echo $usep
echo "---------------###### usep end ######-----------"

if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then

echo "Running out of space "$partition ($usep%)" on $(hostname) as on $(date)"
fi
done


But when i am running this code i am getting the integer expression expected error at if conditional statement, Here is the output of this script

The problem is there:



if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then
...
fi


$usep contains multiple lines of digits. To cycle trough all of them use somthing like this instead of that part:



for $space in $usep;
do
if [ $space -ge $ALERT ]; then
echo "Running out of space..."
fi
done

    The value stored in the variable $storage comprises of multiple lines. As a result, $output will also contain multiple lines, and so will $usep.



    You can extract and compare all values stored in $usep, one by one, using another for loop as mentioned in this answer. Or you can use while statement as follows:



    echo $storage | while read output
    do
    ...
    ...

    if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then
    echo "Running out of space "$partition ($usep%)" on $(hostname) as on $(date)"
    fi
    done
