Try following code.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
line=$(df -h | egrep -v '^Filesystem' | head -1)
output=$(echo $line | awk '{ print $5}' | cut -d'%' -f1 )
if [ $output -ge 80 ]; then
  echo "Running tar command..."
  # add tar command below
else
  # do nothing :)
  :
fi

You need to add tar command as per your need
