Ubuntu :: Command To List Directories And Sizes?
Mar 23, 2010
I need a command to list the total sizes for all the directories in a mounted drive.I tried df and du.df list the total size for the mounted drivedu depending on what option I give it either list the total size or list all the sizes for every file on the drive.All I want to know is the sizes of all the directories on the mounted drive.This is a windows vista hard-drive and for some reason ubuntu is reporting a 50 GB partition and only 10GB free, I want to know what's taking up all the free space. I can't find anything in the file browser, so far I've only managed to count up about 10GB of used space so where is the other 30GB.

I am looking for a utility that would do the following:1. Be run manually on a list of files whose sizes should not change, to get a control file containing the sizes of each file.2. Subsequent manual runs would report any changes in size of any of the files in the list, and allow option to accept the new sizes.3. Be run as a cron job to check for changes in the file sizes and send an email alert if a change has occurred since the last time it was run.The purpose is to detect possible hacks of key files on a website. It would not include files expected to change, but just those that should not change. It would be run manually a few times to get the control list one wants to monitor.

I have a large music directory that I'd like to somehow acquire, or generate, a list of each sub-folder within it, and then somehow get the list into a spreadsheet format. Is there a way to do this?

I recently used up all my free inodes on my server. I had a bunch of mail messages that were sitting there using up a bunch, so I cleared the postfix queue. That gave me some room. What I'd like to do, is get a listing of the directories using the most inodes (or containing the most number of files), so that I can find the other culprits.Basically I want the output of "df -i" but to be able to do it recursively on a specific directory.

I have generated a list of directories that I would like to use ls and grep on, but it is not working. I am using the commandCode:cat directories.dat | xargs lsand I get a whole lot of these errors:Code:ls: cannot access ./foo/bar/baz/grault/*: No such file or directorybut when I try the directories manually one at a time I find that they all exist and all have files in them. Same thing if I try to grep anything. What is going wrong?

I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?

I'm looking for a way to produce a list of all the directories in the current working directory sorted by the total number of files that are contained with them.
Initially I though that Nautilus could be used for this, but then I realised it doesn't count files in the sub directories.
The best I've got for a command line solution so far is this
Code:
The use case for this is a situation where a user has a quota applied to their home directory which limits the number of files they are allowed to have and they have exceeded that limit.

I need to, through a bash script, go through a given directory (given as argument 1) to list out the relative path in this directory (including $1) for eact subdirectory which contains files. Directories which only contain . .. and eventually only subdirectories SHALL NOT be listed. It is this last requirement that makes it difficult for me.
I have been using the tree command for now, but I have not found a way to ignore paths to directories which only contains other subdirs or nothing at all in any easy way. I may offcourse test each directory after they are listed but this gives an extra loop to go through and I beleive it should be possible to do it directly when creatring the list. I guess by using find or ls in conjuntion with the tree command or by itself it should be possible but I am not to conversant of nested script commands.

I am trying to write a simple back up script in python where I try to list the files that are 24 hours old in specific directories that I would choose.I read the manual of find and used
find . -mtime 1 > log.dat
to get the list of files in the log.dat however I also get the path information in that list as such
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel/vfluidIrca10.dat
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel/vLRecoveredSystem.mat
is there a way to exclude the directories and only get the files list.

'm looking for a quick command-line script or command to subdivide directories into alphabetical indexes:
/parent/aardvark/food
/parent/aardvark/etc
/parent/asteroid/help
/parent/asteroid/welcomeoverlords
[code].....
I have found lots of scripts to merge them all back, but can't seem to nail down one that subdivides.

I want it to only display the directories in the folder, but when I use ls -d, it tells me the only directory is '.' .But, if I use ls -p it recognises the directories for what they are.
Code:
[root@xxx test]# ls
dir1 dir3 file2.txt file4
dir2 file1.txt file3.txt file5
[code].....
I have also tried dir -d, with the same results...

How can only directories be listed, that do not have another child directory?
Imagine a structure like /A /A/AA /A/AB /A/AB/ABB /B /C /C/CC /C/CC/CCC /C/CC/CCC/CCCC I would like to use find to list only /A/AA /A/AB/ABB /B /C/CC/CCC/CCCC.
The starting point would be find . -type d, but neither -mindepth nor -maxdepth can be used, can -noleaf help (I could not get it to react the way I wanted it to)?

Would anyone be so kind as to point me to a good reference for how use the command line to configure a directory to be shared in the directory properties?I know how to do it using graphical tools such as Nautilus, Konqueror, and Gnome's shares-admin, but I'd like to know how to do with via command line, because, once you know the commands, the command line is always quicker.I guess you could say I'm looking for a command line method for sharing directories in much the same way that chmod sets permissions from the command line.

suppose in my current directory, I have 50 sub-directories. Now, I am interested only in about 20 of those sub-directories (whose names match a pattern). I would like to recursively list the contents of these 20 sub-directories. How do I do that ? I would like to do this in Solaris 10 and Linux(RHEL 5.x).

I want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

I regularly use 'df -h' to check usage on each of my primary directories and mount points.
I'm currently somewhat confused by disk usage within my filesystem, so I'd like to do the following:
Display directory size of all, or say, the 10 largest, subdirectories to a specified directory. So, if I passed the root (/) directory, output would list the subdirectory of / with the largest disk usage first and its associated disk usage listed in human readable format (either M or G suffix as appropriate), followed by the subdirectory and usage for the second largest directory and so on.
Can anyone suggest a command or series of commands to do this?

I searched the forum and didn't find any threads that seemed to answer this question. I have a large directory of files, and dozens of subdirectories on a remote box I have ssh access to. I need a subset of these files copied to another folder.
Example:
directories
parent
-sub1
-sub2
-sub3
files I want (the files are all the same format, but some have extensions and others dont)
1100
1215
1322
1442
1500
1512
Unfortunately, I need a lot of files, and plan to do this on a regular basis (the files I need will be different each time) I was thinking it would be nice to be able to put the filenames in a text file (one filename per line) and use the find command to copy the files (I don't necessarily know which subdirectory the file will be in).
