bbClientStatus

The bbClientStatus Script checks all accounts for currency by looking at the time stamp of the last file uploaded. This lets a user look at the status of the backups, wihtout interacting with the bbstored server.

The script scans the disks used by bbstored, to find the latest time stamp for files saved by each client. This is then reported, either in human-readable format, or a more machine friendly format. The options are as follows:

• -m This option makes the output machine readable, which means that there are simply 2 columns: account, and 'time since last backup', in seconds. The columns are tab-separated. This is useful if you're passing this data onto another program.
• -e <email address[,email address]...> This option allows the user to send the output of the program in email. Email addresses are comma-separated.
• -c <account ID[,account ID]...> This allows the user to select which accounts should be checked. Account IDs are comma-separated. Default is to check all accounts.

The script requires the BoxBackup::Config modules, which can either be picked up at the CPAN web site or right here.
