While testing a Self Service policy to install Adobe Creative Cloud Master Collection 2015, I was greeted by a Finder dialog box informing me I was nearly out of disk space.
The following script leverages JSS Parameter 4 and verifies there is enough available disk space before continuing with the policy. If there is not enough free disk space, a message is displayed to the end-user and Self Service is forcibly quit. (Is there a way to just simply stop the policy and leave Self Service running?)

Thanks @dan.snelson for the script,
I'm looking for a similar solution the only difference is i'm caching rather than installing the Adobe packages in the policy.
Did you come up with a solution ?
I'm testing the approach suggested by @nessts (thank you also!) where the script in the first policy then triggers the cache policy if there's enough disk space.
This is working well apart from when the first policy runs in Self Service the progress bar states that it's running the script but it remains on that progress bar until the second policy has completed, does anyone know how this could be avoided ?
I was considering re-naming the script to something like "bepatientyourstuffisdownloadinggomakesometea.sh" to hopefully keep the downloader from panicking and force quiiting Self Service during their 8GB download.
#Trigger part of the script
else
echo "triggering cache policy"
jamf policy -trigger cachetestpolicy
fi
exit 0 ## Success
