Check available disk space

[Florian]

Upon Ramshank's request, here's a workflow to check your disk space

Nice, thanks!

[elliot]

Thanks for this 

[CarlosNZ]

Simple, yet effective! Cheers.

Sweet, thank you. This is perfect.  Finding disk space is a but tedious.  In my case I have a 500GB SSD drive so I have to keep tabs on it.

 

Thanks again!

I’ve updated Florian’s original workflow. This version

• has a friendlier display, including correct drive icons
• handles volumes with spaces in their names
• displays the correct name of the system drive
• offers actions on the drives (Finder reveal and Alfred browsing)
• is certified 100 % awk-free

The repo is here, direct download here.

Hi guys,

 

Love the proper icons, kopischke, but your workflow shows drives with no free space (e.g. mounted CDs) as 0% full instead of 100% full.

 

Both workflows wrongly add 'b' (instead of 'B'). We're talking about megabytes, not megabits

is it possible to add the view of the network disks?

 

I have a Time Capsule mounted on my desk but I can't see it.

If you replace the script filter contents with the following, it should do what you want:

list=$(df -H)
IFS=$'\n'

echo '<?xml version="1.0"?><items>'

for item in $list
do
	if [[ $item == /* ]]; then
		#name
		dev=$(echo $item | awk '{print $1}')
		path=$(echo $item | awk '{$1=$2=$3=$4=$5=$6=$7=$8=""; print $0}' | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
		name=$path
		# echo "path : $path, dev : $dev"
		if [ "$path" == "/" ]; then
			name="$(diskutil info $dev | sed -nE 's/^ *Volume Name: +([^ ].*) *$/\1/p')"
		else
			name="${path##*/}"
		fi
		# echo "name : $name"
		# path=$(echo $item | awk '{print $1}')
		size=$(echo $item | awk '{print $2}')
		used=$(echo $item | awk '{print $3}')
		free=$(echo $item | awk '{print $4}')
		perc=$(echo $item | awk '{print $5}')
		free="${free/T/TB}"
		free="${free/G/GB}"
		free="${free/M/MB}"
		free="${free/K/KB}"
		echo '<item uid="diskspace" arg="" valid="no">
		<title>'$name': '$free' available</title>
		<subtitle>'$used'B ('$perc') used of '$size'B total</subtitle>
		<icon type="fileicon">'$path'</icon>
		</item>'
	fi
done

echo "</items>"

It doesn't work (in this way I can't see nothing, not even my iMac HD)....any ideas?

[deanishe]

I'm afraid I can't help you with no information. Can you copy the script into its own file, run it in Terminal and post the error message you get?

[rspike12]

If I put your script into the terminal I get the right informations:

 

<item uid="diskspace" arg="" valid="no">

<title><riki12>: 921GB available</title>

<subtitle>191GB (18%) used of 1.1TB total</subtitle>

<icon type="fileicon">/</icon>

</item>

<item uid="diskspace" arg="" valid="no">

<title><riki12> TC: 79GB available</title>

<subtitle>1.9TB (97%) used of 2.0TB total</subtitle>

<icon type="fileicon">/Volumes/<riki12> TC</icon>

</item>

 

 

but if I put your script into Alfred and I digit the keyword "space" nothing happens:

I can see the HD icon in a "working" status but nothing more.

[deanishe]

<title><riki12> TC: 79GB available</title>

<icon type="fileicon">/Volumes/<riki12> TC</icon>

 

If that's what's coming out of the script, that's what's breaking Alfred. It doesn't like the < and > in the volume name, as it's invalid XML.

 

This might fix the problem:

#/bin/bash

list=$(df -H)
IFS=$'\n'

echo '<?xml version="1.0"?><items>'

for item in $list
do
	if [[ $item == /* ]]; then
		#name
		dev=$(echo $item | awk '{print $1}')
		path=$(echo $item | awk '{$1=$2=$3=$4=$5=$6=$7=$8=""; print $0}' | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
		name=$path
		# echo "path : $path, dev : $dev"
		if [ "$path" == "/" ]; then
			name="$(diskutil info $dev | sed -nE 's/^ *Volume Name: +([^ ].*) *$/\1/p')"
		else
			name="${path##*/}"
		fi
		# echo "name : $name"
		# path=$(echo $item | awk '{print $1}')
		size=$(echo $item | awk '{print $2}')
		used=$(echo $item | awk '{print $3}')
		free=$(echo $item | awk '{print $4}')
		perc=$(echo $item | awk '{print $5}')
		free="${free/T/TB}"
		free="${free/G/GB}"
		free="${free/M/MB}"
		free="${free/K/KB}"
		echo '<item uid="diskspace" arg="" valid="no">
		<title><![CDATA['$name': '$free' available]]></title>
		<subtitle>'$used'B ('$perc') used of '$size'B total</subtitle>
		<icon type="fileicon"><![CDATA['$path']]></icon>
		</item>'
	fi
done

echo "</items>"
