One way:
@Pikk45:
Your solution is relying on the size shown by the ls -l output which actually is the block size for a directory. The size of directory should be determined by the total accumulated size of all files present in the directory which du command does.
Guru.
Cool!! You are the GURU
But when you execute the command of yours, won't it take the present directory that is "." into account as well? <whisper: Got you on this one >
Will any body help me by writing a script in unix to the find out the size of the Main folder which has some 5 to 6 subfolders which in turn has some file in each of these subfolders

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.

I am using du -h --max-depth=2 to get list of folders by size upto 2 levels down. Problem is I am not able to sort them in max folder size.
Normally this can be achieved by using du -k | sort -nr * but I can't use it here since it conflicts (the -s argument) with the --max-depth=2 argument.

Generate a report for all mounted file systems.
Report file system size instead of user statistics.
The option generates histogram statistics in 3-column format:
Column 1: File size in blocks. Sizes are listed in ascending order up to 499 blocks per file. Files occupying 499 or
more blocks are counted together on a single line as 499-block files, but column 3 is based on actual number
of blocks occupied.
Column 2: Number of files of size indicated in column 1.
Column 3: Cumulative total blocks occupied by files counted in current plus all preceding lines.
The option overrides the and options.
Display the number of files and space occupied by each user.
Calculate the number of blocks in the file based on file size
rather than actual blocks allocated. The option does not account for sparse files (files with holes in them).
Accept ncheck(1M) data as input. The following pipeline will produce a list of all files and their owners:
Display three columns containing the number of blocks
not accessed in the last 30, 60, and 90 days.
Validate the command line options, but do not execute the command.
If the options specified are valid, echoes the complete command line. If the options specified are not valid, it prints
