You can use the short option -d instead of --max-depth, and make it's parameter '1' come straight after [1], so my go-to command for tracking down where disk space is been used is... du -hd1 | sort -h then 'cd' into a likely candidate directory and repeat. [1] parameters for short options like this only works for last short option in a joined list, e.g. -d1h is invalid. -- Tixy
