🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The innstat script prints a snapshot of the INN system. Not me being obsessed with the fact that news.daily literally runs it — yes bestie, news.daily calls innstat and folds its output right into the daily Usenet reports. main character energy fr fr 👑

so like, innstat displays the following information:

• the operating mode of the server, as returned by ctlinnd mode — vibe check on your server, basically 💫
• the disk usage of several directories: patharticles, pathdb, pathetc, pathincoming, pathlog, pathoutgoing, pathoverview, and pathtmp. and if you're using them, the disk usage of the patharchive and pathhttp directories gets reported too 📁✨
• the overview buffer usage — but only if you're using the buffindexed overview, iykyk
• the size of all batch files in pathoutgoing 🎀
• the size of the errlog, news, news.crit, news.err, and news.notice log files in pathlog — literally all of them, we're thorough 💖
• the size of all lock files in pathrun 🔒
• the current open connections from remote servers to innd 👀
