directory size?
 

Probably this is quite obvious, but I can't seam to find the answer using search in phorums.

Question: How can I calculate directory size? In another words I need to know summarized amount of bytes occupied by all files in directory.

Thanks,
Mike

just use the du command, e.g. du -h /home/bob/

Thanks
 

Ok, thanks. I expected it should be something simple like that :-)

The -s option will print totals for each directory specified on the command line, whereas without this option, you get a line of output for each sub-directory.

Yes, I have figured that out already.
Thanks
