Limitation of DiskSpace Script
Hi,

I'm a teacher in Germany and I want to set up a classroom with Linux 8.1 PCs. Every User should have a Max of 100 MB available space. Now I need a script which tells everyone how much diskspace is used in a certain subdirectory.

It should work like that: User enters a command like
diskusage -directory
and the command should list all directories as following:

diskusage -mail
2.3M /mail/spam
1.4M /mail/important
29.2M /mail/private


directories which's sizes exceed 1G should not be listed.

I experimented with "du" but couldn't get the right method. Maybe a combination of "find" and "du" is the right way but I don't get it for some reason.

THX in advance,

Dennis
