How do you get the amount of disk space free on a drive in Java?

thanks for any help

Maybee something like this will work

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/df -h");

where df = DiskFree
 
I thought of that, but was hoping for a Java method on the File Class or something. I dunno. Too many laguanges, some do this.

Since I really needed this for DB servers I found I can do EXEC master..xp_fixeddrives in SQL Server to get space. So I just to a JDBC connection to get the disk space. But I might have to the Runtime trick for my servers.
