Disk space Usage
I came across a useful bash alias. I don’t know where. I’ll call it dureport.
alias dureport='du -sdk * | awk '\''{printf "%12d\t%s\n", $1, substr($0,index($0,$2),80)}'\'' |sort -r'

A mega geeky awk one-liner today. Tested on Solaris under bash, so YMMV.
Have you ever found that a filesystem is filling up fast, and dont know what is causing it? This one liner (which can be placed in a cron job if you like) is best run as a super user.
It will:
find / -type f -mtime -3 -exec ls -l {} \; 2>/dev/null \
| awk '{print $5 " " $9}' \
| awk '{printf "%12d\t%s\n", $1, substr($0,index($0,$2),80)}' \
| sort -r >/tmp/largefiles.txt && \
( uuencode /tmp/largefiles.txt largefiles.txt ) \
| mailx -s 'Large Files Report' -r mail2@youremail.com `cat /tmp/mailrecipients` &
Nice. If you just want to see the response on stdout then try this:
find / -type f -mtime -3 -exec ls -l {} \; 2>/dev/null \
| awk '{print $5 " " $9}' \
| awk '{printf "%12d\t%s\n", $1, substr($0,index($0,$2),80)}' \
| sort -r
Have fun.
