User storage report in Linux
A way to see how much space your linux user accounts takes up.
Here is my way of doing it with Perl.
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf "Generating overview over user account storage amounts.\n\n";
opendir(DIR, '/home/');
@dirs = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
foreach $dir (@dirs) {
if($dir ne '..' && $dir ne '.') {
$dir_size = `du -h --max-depth=0 /home/$dir`;
$dir_size =~ s/\s.*//;
printf "$dir : $dir_size";
}
}
printf "\n";
Put code in a file and chmod 755 to it to run as either console command or through a website.
To show through a website you can use something like this.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$output = `cat /home/myuser/scripts/thescript.pl`;
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print '<pre>'. $output .'</pre>';
Here is how the output looks like
root@Mybox adminscripts # ./userstorage
Generating overview over user account storage amounts.
User1 : 608K
User2 : 28M
User4 : 300M
MyUser : 400K
root@Mybox adminscripts #
