It looks like a really useful option. Though if you really need to free up a lot of space, try a Freshmeat search[1] for [ disk usage ]. It reveals many tools that look even better, including ncdu[2] which doesn't require Xorg. But I doubt that any of them ship with FreeBSD by default. I think the du manpage[3]'s "SEE ALSO" section should be revised to include ncdu(1), xdiskusage(1), baobab(1), and kdirstat(1). (Baobab requires Gnome, and KDirStat requires KDE.)

CC'ing responsible party for that thread. What do you mean? Do you mean that maintaining half a dozen lines of extra code added to pkill(1) would be a burden for the FreeBSD team? :) ^ [1]. http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=disk+usage ^ [2]. http://freshmeat.net/projects/ncdu ^ [3]. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=du&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-CURRENT
