Details

What it does:
Example, you have:

VOL1:wrk with sub dirs:
VOL1:wrk\dir1
VOL1:wrk\dir2
.......
VOL1:wrk\dirN

This script can

• check Directory Size for dir1, for dir2 ....for dirN
• check DirSizeQuota
• write all this in CSV-format
• can work as script in schedule

Information about limitations:

1. This script usees VFS (virtual file system). As a result - this script will work only with NetWare, where supported VFS. (NW6. NW6.5)
2. This script tested only with NSS-volume
3. This script does not use UCS/UCX (maybe this is good. I use VFS for get directory quota.)
4. Problems in definition of a quota if the name of the catalogue at a level dir1.. dirN consists of Russian letters are possible. (If this is the case - write me.)

How to Step by Step:

1. unpack ds3.zip to sys:\perl\scripts\ds.pl
2. create directory:
   sys:\etc\chkdrsz
3. create file:
   sys:\etc\chkdrsz\chkdrsz.cfg
4. Choose a directory where the file of the report will be created. example, this will be directory:
   vol2:\logresults\chkdrsz
5. configure chkdrsz.cfg file, as example:

start
vol1:\\dir1\\home
user1@firma.com
vol1:\\logresults\\chkdrsz\\home_
end
start
vol1:\\dir2\deps
user2@firma.com
vol2:\\logresults\\chkdrsz\\deps_
end

where:
vol1:\\dir1\\home - in this directory will check size all subdir
user1@firma.com - this reserv record for future
vol1:\\logresults\\chkdrsz\\home_ - This FileNAme in which will be create Report in CSV format.
(Script rename this file to:
vol1:\\logresults\\chkdrsz\\home_YYYYMMDDhhmmss.csv

6. Run script from NW console as:

perl sys:\perl\scripts\ds3.pl --noscreen --autodestroy

After script is done you will have a result file, as this example:


.....
docum:\wrk\dep\avttrg;141317456;921600000
docum:\wrk\dep\barter;246537847;409600000
docum:\wrk\dep\buhglt;1016628618;1126400000
docum:\wrk\dep\common;177276933;102400000
docum:\wrk\dep\comptr;855913375;2048000000
.....
