I would think it could be a potential problem to alias du right to your shell script. What if some other tool expects the current format? Better to just name the shell script duh, and call it directly when you want it. Of course, it's "do as you please, at your own risk." :-)

yep. aliasing a true command can lead to all sorts of headaches, especially discovering and solving the issue long after you've forgotten that you've done it ;]
