#	Check Folder Size
#	by Dan Barrett
#	http://yesdevnull.net

#	v1.1 - 28 October 2013
#	Added OS X 10.9 Support and fixes a bug where folders with spaces in their name would fail with du.

#	v1.0 - 9 August 2013
#	Initial release.

#	Checks to see how large the folder is and warns or crits if over a specified size.
#	Defaults to MB

#	Arguments:
#	-f	Path to folder
#	-b	Block size (i.e. data returned in MB, KB or GB - enter as m, k or g)
#	-w	Warning threshold for storage used
#	-c	Critical threshold for storage used

#	Example:
#	./check_folder_size.sh -f /Library/Application\ Support/ -w 2048 -c 4096

#	Supports:
#	Untested but I'm sure it works fine on OS X 10.6 and 10.7
#	* OS X 10.8.x
#	* OS X 10.9
