file system

how to check the size of each and every file and a particular directory.

Hi

for example:

# du -akx /var | sort -nr | more

for the files in /var directory

I'd give wittie a 10. That is cool.

To get summaries when you are in a specific directory:

du -sk *

If there are directories in the directory you are in then they will produce an output also and there will be no designation to tell you they are directories (you will just have to check that).

I would go with wittie's suggestion

Hello Indrajit,

# ls -alR [directory_full_path] > /tmp/ls.txt

# more /tmp/ls.txt

Thanks
