Or use "dusort" for *recursive* output
Authored by: cewatts on Oct 10, '03 11:27:21PM
Sure, you have to download and compile it, but you get nice, *RECURSIVE*, directory-by-directory size-sorted output.

If you need help building it, send me a message and I'll upload a compiled version somewhere.

And if you do this even halfway-often, it's *so* much faster than going directory-by-directory.

Here's a sample:

cewatts@delerium cewatts $ du /usr/local | dusort
51376   /usr/local
36480       /usr/local/bin
11600       /usr/local/share
11600           /usr/local/share/ghostscript
11600               /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07
