Measure the daily number of E-mail messages in a mailbox

to email date perl shell bash mime day mailbox by shlomif on Dec 03, 2005
This snippet written in bash with calls to perl from the command line measures the number of E-mail messages sent to a mailbox per calendrical day.

#!/bin/bash
grep -h '^Date:' * |
    perl -pe 's!^Date: !!' |
    perl -pe 's!^\w\w\w, !!' |
    perl -pe 's{\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*$}{}' |
    perl -pe 's!^\s+!!' |
    perl -pae '$_=sprintf("%.2d-%s-%s\n", @F)' |
    sort | uniq -c | sort -n


I used perl for some places where sed would have been more suitable because I find the sed regexp syntax confusing. :-)

echo "It's currently <strong>$time_now</strong> on <strong>$date_today</strong> in <strong>$timezone</strong>.";
