grigorescu commented on BIT-233:
--------------------------------
I believe that we can close this. The 4th field of df is available bytes, and
shouldn't have any percent symbols in it. The percent available is the 5th
field. I tested Gentoo, Ubuntu, OS X and FreeBSD, and I was unable to find a df
implementation that doesn't follow this convention.
> Python error when running `broctl cron`

> Key: BIT-233
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-233
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: Problem
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: jones
>
> I have a fresh installation of Bro 1.5.1, and I am encountering an error when
> running 'broctl cron'. It appears that when broctl attempts to do a df, the %
> symbol is not stripped before python tries to convert it to a float. This
> throws a python error, as you can see below.
> I made the error disappear by changing {{avail=float(df[3])}} to
> {{avail=float(df[3].strip("%"))}}
> Thanks,
