If you want to see information for all files and folders in the
current folder, then `du -ckxs * |sort -rn |head -n 11` will get you
sorted by bytes. Tweak as necessary, of course. (Tip: alias that
command to "ducks", courtesy of Linux Server Hacks.) I'm not sure
how'd you color it from a single command line. Would a shell script
be okay?
Sure, a shell (|| python || perl) script would work fine. This is one of
those where I figured I could learn at the same time as doing something
slightly useful.
My thought for color was to use sed to substitute the output of
`ls --color=...` for the file and directory names, but I don't know if
sed can substitute the output of a shell command.
Thanks.
