du total
Hi All

Can anyone help me with the following du querry. I am trying to achieve a total size for all the zipped files in a directory. Using du -k *.gz gets me a file by file list but no handy total at the bottom.

Thanks
Ed

Or if you have the GNU coreutils package (such as on a Linux system,) you can do:

Err, just saw the thread, had a peek & a play and got the following result..

[/u03]# du -k * | awk '{total=total+$1} END {print total}'
4.72424e+06

How do I make the result more meaningful ??
