Topic: Mailbox size contrib?

[Drifting]

Hi Chaps.

Anyone aware of a simple contrib that would indicate to the local admin or user how much email they are storing? Did a brief google on here but most of the info that came up related to version 7, and currently I run most 8.x

mmmhhh..

something like

Code: [Select]

du -s -m /home/e-smith/files/users/*/Maildir | sort -n -r

in cron?

Code: [Select]

Brilliant thank you so much, wished I understood more command line. Note duly made for later use.

Or :

du -h -s /home/e-smith/files/users/*/Maildir | sort -n -r

If you want a human readable format

(ha - quick edit to point out that this doesn't appear to sort correctly. Bug in DU with Gb ?)

Alternatively how about :

http://wiki.contribs.org/Durep
http://wiki.contribs.org/Diskusage (old - use with care)


Typical Stefano - only does half the job

I disagree with you..
if you use -h switch, you can have size in different measure unit:

Code: [Select]

[root@server ~]# du -h -s /home/e-smith/files/users/*/Maildir | sort -n -r
499M    /home/e-smith/files/users/archivio/Maildir
84K     /home/e-smith/files/users/michele/Maildir
68K     /home/e-smith/files/users/chiara/Maildir
32K     /home/e-smith/files/users/spam/Maildir
32K     /home/e-smith/files/users/riunioni/Maildir
32K     /home/e-smith/files/users/notspam/Maildir
32K     /home/e-smith/files/users/laura/Maildir
32K     /home/e-smith/files/users/katia/Maildir
7.7G    /home/e-smith/files/users/tania/Maildir
6.1G    /home/e-smith/files/users/roberto/Maildir
2.9G    /home/e-smith/files/users/gianni/Maildir
1.2M    /home/e-smith/files/users/assistenza/Maildir

as you can (easily, considering your age) see, you have no order..

Hence I did the quick edit to say :

"(ha - quick edit to point out that this doesn't appear to sort correctly. Bug in DU with Gb ?)"

Yes, my age excuses me from many things

[ReetP]

But this works (a bit of Googling Stefano  )

Code: [Select]

du -s /home/e-smith/files/users/*/Maildir | sort -rn | cut -f2- | xargs -d "\n" du -sh

5.7G   /home/e-smith/files/users/joe/Maildir
853M   /home/e-smith/files/users/brian/Maildir
455M   /home/e-smith/files/users/mark/Maildir
