| Not
using an external tool is certainly an added bonus but, as I discovered
an hour or two ago, DSASTAT's functionality covers most everything OBJcount
does ... albeit a little harder to get at. It did at least cause me to
further explore aspects of DSTSTAT I was previously unfamiliar with.
Thanks
for the input
David.

works. Does it include tombstones? DSAStat does, which some might
consider a negative at times.

| It
doesn't by default, however, assuming you have the later versions of LDIFDE that
support the -x argument (to include tombstones) you can populate the LDIFargs
environment variable (see script help) and tack that switch on (or mod. the
script yourself) ... I've not tested it but I suspect it would
work.
