A simple command displaying the size of a directory
 
Hi folks,

FedoraCore2

What will be the simple command line on terminal displaying the size of a directory (/Dir_AAA) in MB including all its subdirectories and files.

TIA

man du -- in particular, du -s will help you.

du

Is it simple enough?

use "du -h" for filesize in bytes

Hi,

Code:
du -sh /Dir_AAA
should work good for you :)
