You are to write and run a bash shell script that will perform the following tasks:
Takes a file as an argument and creates a backup of the file. (5%) (done ?)

o if the disk space is more than 90%; an email is sent to the administrator.

Your script must run on command-line interface.
Task 3: Linux Server System Administration Documentation 10%
Provide a readme.txt file that explains clearly how to use the bash script you created in Task 2 of the assignment
For question one and two in task 2, I have already done the question, you can use it if you need them:
#!/bin/bash#backup a fileif [ -f "$1" ]then cp "$1" /tmp/"$1".bakelse echo "Error: file not found" exit 1fi
#analyse disk usagedf -h#if disk space is more than 90%if [ `df -h | grep /dev/sda1 | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d'%' -f1` -gt 90 ]then mail -s "Disk Space Alert" a..r@example.com <<< "The disk space on the server is running low."fi
