cat /proc/meminfo | grep ^Swap: | awk 'BEGIN {n = 3; d = 4} {total = $2 / 1024 ; used = $3 / 1024; if((total * n) < (used * d )) { printf "Swap usage is over %d/%d\n", n, d}}'
Be careful, this will no longer work in CentOS 4 because the format of /proc/meminfo has changed.
Don't you hate that. I'll change it to extract values like the rest of the script.
It is not that big a problem though, because I have found that if a machine gets to 3/4 swap usage it is going down big time and a warning email is not going to save it. Any email you send about the problem won't delivered until after you give the box the big finger... especially if the machine is your mail server.
