# Script
#     disk-free-mb.sh
# Description
#     Checks the available free space on a disk
# Declare Parameters
#     1) sDrive (string) - Mounted drive
#     2) nMinFreeMB (number) - Minimum free space
# Usage
#     disk-free-mb.sh sDrive nMinFreeMB
# Sample
#     bash ./disk-free-mb.sh /dev/sda1 1000
