Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Checking the total size of all files from a particular date Post 302578010 by methyl on Wednesday 30th of November 2011 01:39:41 PM

Oracle have really messed up the Solaris manuals site.

Code:
There are two versions of "du":
/usr/bin/du
/usr/xpg4/bin/du
According to the "man" pages for Solaris 10 they both accept "-hs" .  If one doesn't work, worth trying the other one.

Possible way round this it to pipe the list (not expand the list on the command line):
ls *20101010* | du -hs

Do check that you don't have "du" aliased with parameters.

If the number of free disk blocks in the file system falls below 500, automatically turns off the collection of process accounting records via the argument to When at least this number of blocks is restored, the accounting will be activated again.

By default, it will do disk accounting on the special files in If the flag is used, it does a slower version of disk accounting by login directory. files specifies the one or more filesystem names where disk accounting is to be done.
