To Access DU from the Dashboard

To run DU from the Support Tools Dashboard:
Step 1 In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using section below.
Note: When entering arguments, the DU command is already implied. Do not enter it in the
Arguments field.
Step 2 Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is the amount of
time the command will attempt to run before terminating.
Step 3 If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run regardless of
the level of server activity.
Step 4 Click the Run button.

Using DU - Command Line Options

du [ -asM? ] [ names ]
If no names are specified on the command line, the size of the current directory is given. Sizes
given show the total number of bytes in all of the files within and below the named directory
and the amount of disk space used by the files in and below the named directory. The disk space
is displayed in Kbytes ( 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte )
The options for DU are:
-a: also display the size of each file.
-s: only display the grand totals for the names on the command line.
