disk usage and home directory
Hi guys just a quick question how could i come up with a way so i wont have to hard code my home directory into the base_cmd directory?

I only want to list files and directories but no sub directories that take up the most disk usage

Code:
base_cmd=`basename /home/m/mmatrik/*/`
du -h -k base_cmd | sort -nr | head -10

thanks

base_cmd=`basename /home/m/mmatrik/*/`

i tried using $HOME/*/ It seems to work ok however it does not look for hidden files as well how would i get it to look at hidden files also?

Code:
du -k .??*
