	For example, I use the configuration fragment shown below.
	I expect there are cleverer people on the list who might
	have a better solution, but this works for me.

Target[clerihew-root]:
   `df / | awk '$NF=="/" { print $4; print $2; print 0; print 0 }'`
Directory[clerihew-root]: servers/clerihew
MaxBytes[clerihew-root]: 1000000000

Factor[clerihew-root]: 1024
YLegend[clerihew-root]: Space (/)
LegendI[clerihew-root]: Free space
LegendO[clerihew-root]: Total space
Legend1[clerihew-root]: Free space
Legend2[clerihew-root]: Total space
ShortLegend[clerihew-root]: Bytes
Title[clerihew-root]:
   Server clerihew: available space on '/'
PageTop[clerihew-root]:
   <H1> Available space on server <cite> clerihew:/ </cite> </H1>
