Using a keyboard connected to the pi, or in a SSH session, type df -h /

pi@retropie:~ $ df -h /
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        29G   18G   11G  63% /

Not too far back I made a little toolkit to help with stuff like this.
There is a script in there to check Disk Space....its one of the first ones I demo in this video. So long as your pi is connected to your home network you should be good.

Hope this helps!

thank you very much

I downloaded your RetroPie toolkit, and this looks pretty sweet! thank you

however, I am a Linux user, and was curious if there is a way to install these directly onto the RetroPie install so I can just SSH over and run the script?

I am sure I can manually make the conversion myself, but thought I would see what you might already have first.

thank you either way.

@detron hey man. Well. If I were a Linux user like you I would just look at the raw bat file. Find the web directory curl is pulling from then wget the scripts to my Retropie menu directory and call them from the front end. ;-)
Or ssh as you mention.

@jayofcastleford Personally I like rpi-monitor to obtain most of the important stats of my PI - http://rpi-experiences.blogspot.de/p/rpi-monitor-installation.html

@daeks Excellent suggestion. Very nice tool. I had to tweak mine to show cue files as well as bin for PS1 but other than that a great tool. Minor tweaks and it can be an excellent complement to RetroPie.

@Shakz great :) would you mind to share your tweaks? As far as I have seen there is also a way included to develop addons for it. Maybe your toolkit could be adopted to it as well.

@daeks Thanks for the suggestion Daeks. I have created a pull request for the changes needed to show .cue files and will look into integration of my toolkit into the web app. Thanks again for the suggestion.
