Is there a way to see how much space is left on the hard disk and not use the  
workspace?  I'm wanting to check it on a remote machine (i.e. the printer  
server) and that is in another room... and most of the time, somebody else is  
on.

any suggestions?

df [list of partitions or anything on a partition]

e.g.
df
df usr/spool
df /dev/sd0a
