Console Server Commands
133
help
help <command name>
Displays information on how to use other commands. For instance, to get instructions for the
list command, type:
help list
A message similar to the following appears:
usage:
list configuration [<termid> | <name>...]
list directory [<name>...]
list terminal [<termid> | <name>...]
list user [<name>...]
list queue <name> [<record limit>]
hogs
hogs [<pathname>]
Scans the directories or queues you specify and displays usage information for them. You
can use this command to get an idea of which queues are consuming the most space and how
much is being consumed. This command is most useful when used on the People directory.
For instance, to display usage information for the People directory, type:
hogs people
Below is an example of using the at command to execute a hogs command at a specified
schedule, sending the results to a file (hogs.report), and then using the doc command to copy
that file to a queue for later review.
