tool

[Richard Woolley]

Not long ago I downloaded a tool which acted like "du -k" but with an esc-equalls which showed all directories underneath current and how many MB were located under each of the different directories!

I have since forgotten where Ive put it and cannot remember its name, if this sounds familiar (one of the forum member wrote it i do beleive) then please reply with it attached.

cheers,

mark.

Hi,

you are right. It is du -k only. Check in the /sbin, /usr/bin directories

You can give

# du -k /var ( for var directory)

# du -k ( for current directory)

Divide the output which you get by 2 and you will get the MB used by the filesystem

Also go thro this string

Use "du -sk", that gives you the number in Kbytes.

Hi,

# du -skx *

and you will have the size of all the directories on the same filesystem

You will get some examples for the usage of du.
