Enumerate "shares"

Handy to place into the periodic/daily script, to keep track of shares and/or similar sub-folders. (For example, you can watch how usage changes over time, to notice patterns of usage before they become a problem.)

# display usage of sharepoints
# (whereis enables it to be run on non-MOSXS system w/o err)
# ((anyone know of a call available on MOSX (client) system?))
if [ `whereis sharing` ] ; then sharing -l | grep path | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 du -ks; fi

# OR

# show usage of dirs in /shares - if it and they exist
if [ -d /shares ] ; then if [ "`find /shares -type d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1`" ] ; then { find /shares -type d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -0n1 du -ks; } ; fi; fi

(NB: Both are single lines and must be run as root.)

The nice thing about the second variation is: If you config your servers so that all "shares" are in the "/shares" directory (or maybe the "shares" directory at the root of each mounted volume), it shows the status even if they're not shared at the moment, which can be handy.
