You don't need awk :)
iostat -d -w 10 disk0 | while read a b c; do case $a in *[a-zA-Z]*)
continue ;; *) sqlite3 iostat.db "INSERT INTO io
VALUES(datetime('now', 'localtime'), \"$a\", \"$b\", \"$c\");" ;;
esac; done
(the mail can have beed splitted, but the above code should be one
single line :)
regards,
Bapt
