Question

I need to make a shell script to get the size of every www directory of my users home folder

I need somethings like
USERNAME - WWWdirsize
USERNAME - WWWdirsize
TOTAL www Size = ...

I know that I have to play with the du unix command

any help?

Answer 1

To get the recursive size of a folder: du -hs | cut -f 1

So to get the size of each user’s www folder:

ls /home | while read username; do echo "$username $(du -hs "/home/$username/public_html" | cut -f 1)"; done
