Like this ls -l /var/spool/mail/deboert -rw-r----- 1 deboert mail 18834 Dec 23 12:03 /var/spool/mail/deboert ls -lh /var/spool/mail/deboert -rw-r----- 1 deboert mail 18k Dec 23 12:03 /var/spool/mail/deboert One thing I've noticed since moving to FreeBSD, is that -h doesn't do this translation. It's not a huge flaming big deal, not having it, but it does make life easier when dealing with *really* large files and directories. I've checked man ls, and came up empty handed. Is there a similar option in FreeBSD? Or is that option ls version specific? -- Tim DeBoer http://www.freebsd-geek.com "When you find yourself in the company of a Halfling and an ill-tempered Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon... ...you just have to outrun the Halfling."
