Hi, I am not really good at shell scripting. I usually cut and paste from other scripts and customize it to do what I need. I am running Oracle 10g on AIX 5.3 machine and I need a script that does monitors a filesystem, I would say at least every hour by cron, and if the filesystem hits above 80% full then I want the script to start deleting the oldest files in the filesystem first until the filesystem is back down to 50% full.

I have scripts that monitor the filesystem, but the whole 80 to 50% thing is where I am stumped. I know if I spent the next few days studying I could figure it out, but I need this script today really for the customer. Anyone able to assist me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Jim
