Script to sort & show directory sizes in Linux
Just change /www/htdocs/ to the desired directory that you want to see the subdirectory sizes for, sorted by size descending.
#!/bin/bash
du -k /www/htdocs/* | sort -nr | awk '
BEGIN {
split("KB,MB,GB,TB", Units, ",");
}
{
u = 1;
while ($1 >= 1024) {
$1 = $1 / 1024;
u += 1
}
$1 = sprintf("%.1f %s", $1, Units[u]);
print $0;
}
