Question how to see disk usage in descending order
What is the command used by sysadmin to see the disk used by the users in descending order of their disk usage?

du
You could use a du on all the /home subdirectories (or where their home directories are located):

Code:
cd /home
du -k -s * | sort -k1 -g -r

It gives error with -g option. It says illegal option -g. when i tried without -g option it worked. but it was not in asending order of use.

Numeric
The -g option stands for a numeric sort. It works in Linux, possibly the Solaris 'sort' has different options. Check with man sort which option matches a numeric sort in Solaris and use that.

The -r option is for reverse order. Again this might be different in Solaris.

with a little help from the sort man page

OS: solaris
Ver: 7
Hardware: ultra 5

Code:
for i in `awk -F":" '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd`;do
du -s `find . -user $i`|sort -nr
done
