I don't think you'd even need a module to do this. You can get a list of currently used modules by doing:<div><br></div><div>SELECT name FROM system WHERE type='module' AND status='1';</div><div><br>
</div><div>You could likely write a quick script to compare the list returned by that SQL statement to your modules list.</div><div><br clear="all">Thanks,<br>Cameron<br><br>

I have a list of 60+ modules that I download, via drush, to each new Drupal site that I build. I then enable whatever modules are needed for the specific site I'm working on as I carry out the build.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

This means that once the site is launched, there may be modules that are not being called by Drupal core but that are still enabled and/or installed.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

Is there an automated way - a specific module, for example - that will tell me which of the modules that are enabled on a site are being called by Drupal core?</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

Secondly, is there any performance implication for having lots of modules installed on a site if they are not enabled?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The answer to the second question seems to be "no". And It doesn't seem that such a module does exist - would it be technically possible to write this module for D6? </div>
