The Low Disk Space Script is an easy-to-use AppleScript that verifies the availability of a particular pre-configured level of storage space.
To help prevent these issues, there is a simple AppleScript that you can use to monitor your system's available space. The script tests two things: that all hard drives are present and that there is a certain pre-defined amount of available space. If either of these tests fails, the script will automatically send an email to one or more pre-defined addresses to notify you of the problem.
The Low Disk Space Script comes with default settings that check for at least 10% of available space remaining on one hard drive. However, if you have more than one hard drive or you want to check for a different percentage of available space, you can easily customize the script. Simply open the script and modify the first three values under "change these settings" to your desired values.
To customize the script further, you can set the number of hard drives you have connected and the minimum amount of free space you'd like to check for. You can also specify which email address(es) to send the error report to. Just be sure to keep all the relevant code, such as { " , " }, or the script may not work.
Once you're finished customizing the script, there's no need to save it as an application or compile it. Simply save the file, and that's the file you'll use. It's recommended that you save it in a safe location, such as your Documents or Library folder, to prevent accidental deletion or movement.
Overall, the Low Disk Space Script is a useful tool for Mac users who want to keep their systems running smoothly and avoid potential crashes or rebuilds. It's easy to use and customize, and it can save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run.
