Hi Gurus,

Newbie here.

I am using AIX 5.1

I am trying to find the directory sizes of all subdirectories under
/usr (or any directory). I would like a list of immidiate sub
directories of /usr with their sizes. I do not want recursive output.
Here is what i tried unsuccessfully

cd /usr
ls -1 | du -sk $1 //gives error on $1
ls -1 | du -sk {} \; //borrowed the syntax from find command, got
errors.

tried find command but could not figure out how to stop find from
descending deeper than the first level. I was gonna try

find . -type d -exec du -sk {} \;//works except it is recursive

Thanks

cd /usr
for dir in `ls -l |awk '/^d/ {print $9}'` ; do du -sk $dir ; done

This works for me on AIX 5.2:

# cd /usr; du -sk */

Mind you, this does miss out on what /usr itself contains. But you did
say you wanted the subdirectories :-)
