I want to see the size of a directory. That's the directory and all its contents as a single number of bytes. It seems quite basic but man, info and google/linux have given me nothing. Is it possible?

Use "du" "du -s /path to/" for a total sum or "du -sh /path to/" for "human readable" -- /Rikard

THanks everyone. It's du. I'm totally thick today! Cheers Steve. -------------------------------------------------------
