Woo hoo! Thanks for all the lightning fast help. I already had most of the script written, but now I think I'll go back and re-write much of it thanks to all your input! > You can use 'cut' or 'awk' for this: > > du -sk /home/* | sort -nr | cut -f3 -d/ I think cut was what I was looking for. Thanks, (I was also going to do a 'du -chxs ~$USER/*' to get them a breakdown, but I may modify that.) > > For the first 25 users or so, you could do something like: [snip] > Note, this isn't tested in any way. It's just something to > experiment with. Thanks! I might just incorporate parts of this. The script is for a client, but I think I like the idea enough to make it a little better than they need it. I'll probably make it a bit more configurable with variables that can be set depending on the system (on the one this is for, $home can be on any of three nfs mounted filesystems... Any way, again, thanks for all the help!
