Is there other command which can produce the disk usage

When I used to work on HP-UX systems, the first thing I did was download a gcc development environment and build GNU utilities (like du, for example).

If I were you (of course I am not) I would create a GNU development environment for HP-UX and then you an have access to a very large (and free!) world of wonderful GNU tools that run on HP-UX.

See this link: http://www.gnu.org/ You will need to install GCC:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ ....find your HP-UX platform here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html

As an editorial note, back in the 'good ole days' when I was a UNIX systems consultant/contractor for big firms, I installed a GNU development environment will my clients. In every case, we saved the client time and big $$$ using GNU software.

du -b does not give bytes on HP-UX, BTW:

See:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90128/du.1.html



PS: See earlier post. I recommend you install GCC build some GNU utlities for HP-UX Smilie

For an example HP-UX 10 build environment see:

http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/docu...tall.hpux.html

For an HP-UX 10 example environmental setup (from above):


Quote:
1. You need gzip, download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/...-10.20.depot.Z
uncompress the file and install using swinstall

2. You need gcc, download a binary distribution from
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/ftp/hpux...10.20.depot.gz
gunzip this file and install gcc using swinstall.

3. You need the GNU binutils, you can download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/...10.20.depot.gz
gunzip and install using swinstall.

4. You now need bison, you can download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/...10.20.depot.gz
install as above.

5. You now need flex, you need to download the source from one of the
http://www.gnu.org mirrors. It is in the <filename>non-gnu</filename> directory of the ftp site.
Download the file, gunzip, then tar -xvf it. Go into the newly created flex
directory and do a ./configure, then a make, and then a make install


((etc... etc.... it shouldn't take long, and you will learn a lot ... )) - Neo

Code:
du -sk * | sort -n | awk '{print $1*1024 " " $2}'

If using awk, either change the value of OFMT (Output ForMaT) or just do something like...

du -ks * | sort -n | awk '{printf("%20d %-10s\n", $1 * 1024, $2)}'
