As Jim Mcnamara there is no concept of "capacity of a folder" in Unix or GNU/Linux. For starters Unix and GNU/Linux has directories not folders. And unlike Windows/DOS FAT12 or FAT16 there is no inherent limitation on the number of files in a directory. Unless you are using quotas (and generally only large organizations use quotas) the best you can do is determine the capacity of the filesystem on which the directory resides and the amount of free or allocated space on that filesystem.
So I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly....
There is no way to monitor only the size of the directory?
We have file systems that may have a few directories within them that belong to different groups so I want to be able to monitor the directories independantley. So for example if I have 3 directories....
Directory 1 Belongs to Group A
Directory 2 belongs to Group B
Directory 3 belongs to Group C
If Directory 2 fills beyond 80% of its capacity I do not want Group A and C to have to check their directories when we know its not theirs thats filling things up.
i've gone through the sun docs as well as a Solaris Network Admin book.
while the book is fair, it lacks detail and i'm sure there are things it's missing on getting a caching only name server working.
as for the sun docs... what it has is really miserable. i can't make anything out of it.

Hello everybody, is a very simple question how can I increase the capacity of a disk wich is on a DS4300?, I have done the procedure on the Storage Manager but the space is the same on the AIX (5.3) , what should I do to obtain the new ammount of disk space? (16 Replies)
Good morning.
I have been attempting to find a way to monitor the capacity of a directory so that when it reaches 80% or higher I can send an event.
I was able to find a script that does this for the whole drive by I can not seem to figure out how to do this for just a single directory.

Hello,
I hired a coder a couple weeks ago to develop 3 small modules for a popular CMS. I created Github repos for each module so as to manage the code and allow others to download it at will.
The CMS in question is structured in such a way that each module is housed in its own... (2 Replies)

cd - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
[directory]
DESCRIPTION
If directory is not specified, the value of shell parameter is used as the new working directory. If directory specifies a complete path
starting with or directory becomes the new working directory. If neither case applies, tries to find the designated directory relative to
one of the paths specified by the shell variable. has the same syntax as, and similar semantics to, the shell variable. must have execute
(search) permission in directory.
exists only as a shell built-in command because a new process is created whenever a command is executed, making useless if written and pro-
cessed as a normal system command. Moreover, different shells provide different implementations of as a built-in utility. Features of as
described here may not be supported by all the shells. Refer to individual shell manual entries for differences.
If is called in a subshell or a separate utility execution environment such as:
(which invokes on accessible directories) does not affect the current directory of the caller's environment. Another usage of as a stand-
alone command is to obtain the exit status of the command.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
Environment Variables
The following environment variables affect the execution of
The name of the home directory,
used when no directory operand is specified.
A colon-separated list of pathnames that refer to directories.
If the directory operand does not begin with a slash character, and the first component is not dot or dot-dot, searches
for directory relative to each directory named in the variable, in the order listed. The new working directory is set
to the first matching directory found. An empty string in place of a directory pathname represents the current direc-
tory. If is not set, it is treated as if it was an empty string.
EXAMPLES
Change the current working directory to the directory from any location in the file system:
Change to new current working directory residing in the current directory:
or
Change to directory residing in the current directory's parent directory:
Change to the directory whose absolute pathname is
Change to the directory relative to home directory:
RETURN VALUE
Upon completion, exits with one of the following values:
The directory was successfully changed.
An error occurred. The working directory remains unchanged.
