Utility: osg_dc_chronicle

This utility provides an autobot emailer that operates daily. It is
locally configured by a site. The autobot sends an analysis of
overall system summary, based on all active PoolGroups in the storage 
system at the site. 

For each PoolGroup found to have active pools, total is computed to
measure overall disk capacity. Total is also computed for space 
which is free, or precious, or cached and removable. Report 
includes total number of active pools and disk utilization percentage. 

In the standard configured site's top-level users-storage directory,  
it performs an analysis of space consumption of each user area. In 
addition, for each user, it collects a list of 'lost' files. This is
a comparison between the physical and logical states of consumption.
If there are any user-files which seem to have been lost from disk but 
are still in PNFS filesystem, this listing is automatically emailed 
followed by the chronicle report. 

This auxiliary email has 2 sections. Section I has files that 
Chronicle's utilities could not fairly judge to be lost. Possible 
causes of uncertainty can be: (A) 0-byte files, in midst of being 
written during the evaluation. (B) Non-0-byte but corrupted files. 
(C) 0-byte files, really lost. If the same files remain in Section I 
for a few days, (A) can be ruled out. Section II list is nearly 
confirmed, to be lost for certain.

No Arguments needed.
