Well, looking here at the source to df on OpenBSD: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/bin/df/df.c?rev=1.37&content-t ype=text/x-cvsweb-markup it looks as though it uses getmntinfo() to get information about free space. This function call may be implemented in some perl module, or you could be brave and use syscall() to call it. I'll work on that for kicks and get back to the list. Your friend will have to see if this function exists on all his unix platforms. > The script is used in a 32 server environment that I know has > at least > four operating systems: HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows. > I believe > df is pretty standard on all of those but Windows, though the options > vary.

That is the point of modules. Luke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
