I don't think that was what Schimara meant. This script will popup a message 
with current output of df -h for the root partition if usage gets above 85 %. 
It polls every 60 seconds.

# Run forever
while [ 1 ]; do
	# If 85 (%) less than output of df for root partition popup an x-message
	[[ 85 -lt `df | awk '$NF~/^\/$/{print $5}' | sed -e 's/\%//'` ]] &&    \
		xmessage -print `df -h | grep \/$`;
	# Poll every 60 seconds
	sleep 60;
done

But it will not popup if usage does not get above 85 %.
