You can enable DiskState to dump an ASCII report of your disk space and exit. Start DiskState from the command line with the argument "/dumpstate". Example:
The [file] is optional and specifies the path and file name of the report to be generated. If omitted, a file called DSOutput.txt is created in the current folder.
This way, you can make DiskState generate ASCII reports. You can email these reports on a daily basis so that you know the disk space status of servers and so forth at all times.
Example: DiskState /dumpstate D:\mySpaceReport.txt will generate a report called mySpaceReport.txt on D:.
DiskState is good for finding duplicates. It can be asked to do this by the command line, too. Simply start DiskState from the command line with the argument "/dupes". Example:
The start paths for the duplicate search are given by path. Separate multiple start paths by a comma.
The [file] is optional and specifies the path an file name of the report to be generated. If omitted, a file called DSOutput.txt is created in the current folder.
Example: DiskState /dupes C:\Src,F: D:\myDupesReport.txt will generate a report called myDupesReport.txt on D:. The content of this file is a duplicate file listing of the C:\Src and F:\ folders.
