My company has an old DG/UX system we use for customer data. I need to archive some data to clear some space, so I wanted to be able to list items in each directory by size, to grab some "low hanging" fruit to give me some breathing room as the system is constantly at 90% capacity.
For my examples here I will be using my /var directory, even though it's not what I am cleaning out.
So I go into the directory and do a
Code:
ls -alFRC
I get a gorgeous listing of where, why, how, etc that recursively goes into each directory and lists the contents.
Code:
/X11:
total 2
drwxrwxrwx 3 bin bin 512 Mar 13 2001 ./
drwxr-xr-x 28 bin bin 512 Mar 15 16:31 ../
drwxrwxrwx 2 bin bin 0 Mar 13 2001 DGShm/
./X11/DGShm:
total 1
drwxrwxrwx 2 bin bin 0 Mar 13 2001 ./
drwxrwxrwx 3 bin bin 512 Mar 13 2001 ../
*BUT* I want to list it by filesize! So if I do a:
Code:
ls -alFRC | sort +4 -rn
I get not as nice of a list, but everything is sorted by size.
Code:

The thing is, I could really use the syntax of the first one, that listed things by directory, and *then* by size. Is there a way to do both?
Before you tell me to use the -S option with ls, save your breath. DG/UX considers it an illegal option.
Thanks in advance.

Does any one know how to get a recursive directory listing in long format (showing owner, group, permission etc) without listing the files contained in the directories.
The following command also shows the files but I only want to see the directories.
