Right, I was sure of this. But how would I make du properly escape? I'm
trying to run the utility on S:/*. I don't have a defined list of
directories to run against.
Use POSIX paths (i.e. /cygdrive/s). Here I think you've found an application
for 'find'. How about something like:
find /cygdrive/s -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -0 du
