#25521 - 2002-07-19 09:23 PM Low-tech disk quota
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I have been digging through a lot of posts, but cannot find what I'm looking for. I need to make a script that will spit out the size of sub-directories in a directory. Something like: 1) List all folders 2) Check size 3) Send mail to user I have no problem with number 3, number 1 and 2 are just beyond my limited reach. Can someone give a push in the right direction please? Sorry I got a little lazy here, I am running KiXtart 4.01 and I am performing this on an NT 4.0 server.

And the the following posts: http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001657 http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002315 http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002771 http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=000778 they are all variations of the same problem. you couild also type DIRUSE into the BBS search and find a couple more posts. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Mostly it is better to know what kind of files are using those space. Mostly too big mail files or un- wanted download and EXE files. So it is more important that there is a policy within your organization, which kind of files may be store on your computer environment. Of course there are always heavy users, but for them you can extend your policy a little bit. The prices for diskspace is very low (80 GB for $99). greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Kellar has already apologized... what more do you want? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Sorry people. All I can say is that I did do some searching beforehand to try and find the posts. I'll be a little more thorough next time.
