This is a
function that I came up with
earlier today that I have found useful. It tell you how many blocks of a
filesystem a
directory is taking up (so you can
trim it down if
desired):
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ls -1ARs $@ 2> /dev/null \
| perl -e 'while(<>) {/^ *(\d*).*$/; $a+=$1 }
print "$a KB\n";'
Anyway... have
fun, I hope it helps... it was short, so I thought I'd
share.
