FYI, I have this alias in my .bashrc, it allows me to quickly see the disk usage of the current directory, including the "hidden" files and folders, sorted by size, inverted, with a total. The number is in megabytes, rounded up. alias dus="du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . | sort -g" Try playing around with this command, like replace the "." with "*" or a ".*". For documentation about what all this means, see here: http://halisway.blogspot.com/2007/02/bash-globbing-and-dot-files.html This is a good place to start if you plan on using the CLI: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ Then once you are comfortable, this is where you go next: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ You probably do not need the advanced guide unless you plan on doing some scripting. Personally, I have printed copies of both since I work with bash and bash scripts an awful lot, even under Windows (thanks be to Cygwin). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoA0XoACgkQwRXgH3rKGfO5JACfSt6ihlJHoqEsmKBsR21lBBZP LAgAoKdYowpGou0zJA0ZuUlh+/g9eyPi =b/fy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
