== Description ==
 
  
−
The <em>FileCount</em> plugin does something very simple: Count the number of files in a directory and all its subdirectories. This can be used for a variety of statistics, for example the queue length of an MTA, the number of PHP sessions of a web server or simply the number of files in your home directory.
 
−
 
−
In addition to the number of files, the plugin also collects the total size of all files.
 
−
 
−
In come cases collecting all files in a directory is not desired. For instance, the session files of the [http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Session/lib/CGI/Session.pm CGI::Session] Perl module reside in <em>/tmp</em>. But counting all files in <em>/tmp</em> doesn't tell you anything about the number of sessions. For this reason the plugin also allows you to specify which files to count. Files can be selected by:
 
−
 
−
* Name (shell wildcards)
 
−
* Size
 
−
* Modification time
