How about: du | cut -f 2- The du utility descends a directory tree and tells you how many 1k blocks are stored in each subtree (or something like that), giving you a rough idea of where your diskspace is going. The "cut -f 2-" part just throws the disk usage information away. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
