# Recursively count files for any number of directories.
# Originally wrote to count database files for our network's
# data servers.

# Works whenever need to count files for one or more
# directories. Will give individual and aggregate counts.

# Add directories to check. Each directory must have a unique
# index, e.g.,
# Directories[0]="/my/first/path"
# Directories[1]="/my/second/path"
