How to reinvent the linux "df" command
|
|
| Siegfried 2007-02-16, 6:59 pm |
| Can someone suggest where I would look to reinvent "df" with perl? The "df"
command enumerates all the drives and partitions and interrogates them for
the amount of disk space total, used and available. Is there an OS neutral
way to write this program? I hope so. If not, this will be running on
xubuntu (linux).
Thanks,
Sigfried

CPAN!
CPAN is always the first place to look for a Perl module.

Filesys::Df

Not really, see Filesys::DfPortable which is really just an agregation
of OS specific solutions.
