Hi,
You can use bdf for disk usage and ps for a list of processes in your script.
But what exactly do you want your script to do for you?

Thank you for getting back to me the purpose of the script is to moniter system usage and then write them either as a text file or as a csv so i am able to improve system performance .
I have ran the command top -s1 which is fine but due to i am working on the system constat it would be easier to run the script every say 2 hours.
hope this can help you to help me

You could set it up a couple of ways:

Probably the easiest is to write a script to run the command you want and append the output (use >> instead of just >) to a file. Then Schedule the script through cron to run at 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, etc.
