mongo (cont.) ~ mongo test --eval "printjson(db.getCollectionNames())" MongoDB shell version:
2.1.0-pre- connecting to: test [ "fs.chunks", "fs.files", "system.indexes", "system.profile", "test" ] ~ mongo test --quiet --eval "printjson(db.getCollectionNames())" [ "fs.chunks", "fs.files", "system.indexes", "system.profile", "test" ] Friday, 20 April 12
~/.mongorc.js x = db.queue.count({state:4}); if (x > 0) { print('WARNING:
' + x + ' hung jobs'); } Friday, 20 April 12
~/.mongorc.js ~ mongo MongoDB shell version: 2.1.0-pre- connecting to: test

Cursor paging Common operations fsync flushes Total data size locked
active clients queues Friday, 20 April 12
