Then I guess if needed you could create a quick perl script to eliminate sub directories and then email the report or dump it to file? For our needs (we can our shell access server once a week for example) we don't need anything fancy and this works fine..:) Paul Elliot Finley wrote: > I need to keep an eye on my users disk usage.
