also i tried the below command using col command but not so successfull:

Code:
ls -ltr | grep ^d | awk '{print $9}' | xargs du -sk | col -bx

output:
Code:
28      ssh
206016  Outgoing
17477020        Incoming
4       Mail
141352  lib
136     doc
50685612        Processed
204     OLD_AMIS_Scripts
11396   temp
129692  tools
156976  447_tools
4       arch_logs
68      svmon_output
20212   conf
2107252 done_processing
16324   CurrentCollectorResendTool
132628  Reports
10796   bin
6133036 logs
234516  AMIS_Scripts

As i see 2 directory are not aligned in a proper column i.e. ( "Incoming" and "Processed" )

I did not understand what the problem is, to use printf.

Or just use "expand" at the end of the pipeline. My solution:
Code:
find ./* -type d -prune -print | xargs du -sk | tr ' ' '\t' |expand -10
