Hi Alister,
Totally accept your comment. Should have been very clear with my requirements. It's only that I have been testing Robin's code and realizing that I would need more stuff. Sorry about that. Yes, I think it would be grt if the code can also include (apart from the top level directory) to give me the list of directory size of the individual sub-directories (size to include the contents of all its subdirectories). And this means that any directory meeting exceeding the growth limit will cause all components of its path to also exceed their limit. With his I will know which sub-directory under a directory/sub-directory is hitting the size limit. It would also be great if we can report on the actual size in KB or MB.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to find the size of a folder. When I run the command
du -k
It is going through all the sub-folder and files and taking really much time.
Is there any command to get the complete directory size without showing the sub-folder and file size.
Appreciate your response.

BACKUP(8) System Manager's Manual BACKUP(8)
NAME
backup - backup files
SYNOPSIS
backup [-djmnorstvz] dir1 dir2
OPTIONS
-d At top level, only directories are backed up
-j Do not copy junk: *.Z, *.bak, a.out, core, etc
-m If device full, prompt for new diskette
-n Do not backup top-level directories
-o Do not copy *.o files
-r Restore files
-s Do not copy *.s files
-t Preserve creation times
-v Verbose; list files being backed up
-z Compress the files on the backup medium
EXAMPLES
backup -mz . /f0 # Backup current directory compressed
backup /bin /usr/bin
# Backup bin from RAM disk to hard disk
DESCRIPTION
Backup (recursively) backs up the contents of a given directory and its subdirectories to another part of the file system. It has two typ-
ical uses. First, some portion of the file system can be backed up onto 1 or more diskettes. When a diskette fills up, the user is
prompted for a new one. The backups are in the form of mountable file systems. Second, a directory on RAM disk can be backed up onto hard
disk. If the target directory is empty, the entire source directory is copied there, optionally compressed to save space. If the target
directory is an old backup, only those files in the target directory that are older than similar names in the source directory are
replaced. Backup uses times for this purpose, like make. Calling Backup as Restore is equivalent to using the -r option; this replaces
newer files in the target directory with older files from the source directory, uncompressing them if necessary. The target directory con-
tents are thus returned to some previous state.
