+# Plugin to monitor the size of the specified directory
+#
+#################################################################
+#
+# Parameters understood:
+#
+# 	config   (required)
+# 	autoconf (optional - checks if the path exists etc, not so advanced feature)
+#
+#################################################################
+#
+# Requirements
+# - bash (or change first line to sh instead of bash or any other shell)
+# - existing and readable directory to scan
+# - du command, it exists on most of the *nix operating systems 
+#
+#################################################################
+# 
+# Configuration
+#
+# directory to check
+DIR="/var/cache/apache2/"
+
+# unique id, just in case you got multiple such scripts, change id as needed (i guess it shoudl be obsolete, not tested)
+ID=1;
+
+# - make sure that user/group that executes this script has acess to the directory you ahve configured
+#  otherwise run it as another user, edit plugins-conf.d/munin-node and stuff it with example below code (not suggested)
+# remeber to remove hashes from the beginning of the lines
+#
+#  [du]
+#   user root
+#
+# - by default the value is in MegaBytes, to change it you should edit below line in the script to something else, recognizeable by du (see man du)
+#   du -sm $DIR    in MB
+#   du -sk $DIR    in KB
