Well, that script will need some modificatins as IIRC the df output is a 
little different and it uses 'mailx' instead of 'mail', but all the heavy 
lifting is done already, just fix the file system names it looks for, the 
email recipient, mailx to mail, and double check the format of df.

Hope that helps.
