This script returns the results for all table spaces when the -d flag isnt used and a specific tablespace when the -d flag is used.

If it outputs everything to stdout (it looks like it does) you can do what you want by piping the output to 'grep -v' followed by what you want to exclude as a quick and dirty way to get what you want. script.sh -s SID -w 80 -c 90 \| grep -v tablespace

Is there anything i can add to the script so where i can type the following syntax command line: script.sh -s SID -w 80 -c 90 -o tablespace 1 And the output would be: Tablespace2 99% tablespace3 87% Even though tablespace1 would equal 85%. I want to be able to exclude anything designated after the new -o flag from the return. Thanks!
