is it possible calculate the size of files in the directory? for example: du -sk /tmp/m* ,
That's how to calcualte all size of m* in /tmp . Thanks.

Don't know about such a command. But it could easily be scripted. Something along the line of:
TOTAL=0
for SIZE in $(du -sk /tmp/s* | cut -f1 -d" ")
do
let TOTAL=$TOTAL+$SIZE
done
print $TOTAL

Thats a tab in the quotes.
