$ cd /usr $ du -ksc * | sort -rn | less
shows the sorted view of space occupied by files and directories under /usr. Of course this is not very useful as you cannot remove anything there. You should try it on some user created dir. And you should also know that the du -hsc switch displays in a much more user friendly format and you don't have to calculate how man KBs make and MB... It is far more useful. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
