asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Control space of each voicemail box

Hi friends.

I am  using Asterisk like voicemail of a great system with many users, How do 
I can get statistics of each box in the voicemail system? something like 
space, number of messages, etc.

A lot of thanks.

I am not aware of anything directly in Asterisk, but a simple shell 
script would work well. Just walk the directory tree and get the results 
of a "du" command for each user. Then you could call it from cron each
night or once a week for example.

"man du" and "The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide" should do
the trick!

The only CLI commands are 'voicemail show zones' and 'voicemail show
users';
the latter shows the number of new messages  for each box, but not the
total.  So as the previous poster described, shell tools are your friend.

If you're storing voicemail using IMAP, then this becomes either easier or
harder (depending on your experience with email).  You can get more details
about the contents of a mailbox using the IMAP protocol, but depending on
the implementation you might get less info about the actual bytes taken up
in backend storage.
