Hi ,
    You can also use Ducks!

What i Hear you screem
add into your .profile the following

alias ducks= 'du -cks * | sort -rn | head -11'

Then Cd to a few suspect directories such as /var/spool/mail and type 
ducks this
will then give you a total of space used and which files consume most 
disk space.

I read this last year from a book called linux server hacks by o'reilly 
and it has never left my admin toolkit.

It's got loads of other admin tips and tricks in!

Cheers
Martyn

Subject: [Wolves] Space on /

My webserver has just started refusing to open the GUI, due to the /
partition being full.
I can get onto a command line and have been having a bit of a look for
anything I can delete but tmp is now empty and am a bit stuck /home /var are
mounted elsewehere so its not them.

Is there a command I can issue to either locate large files (and then I can
manually delete them)?

cheers

Wayne
