disk usage

Simple as can be, but very useful. Instead of commandline typing you can just run disk usage and see all used/taken space on all mounted drives, including nfs mounts.




. . . sure, you can run "df" in an xterm. It just doesn't look as good and is difficult to read. It's a formatting thing. Below is the output from df:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 19139784 14700736 4439048 77% / 192.168.0.1:/dad/public 4064280 675776 3388504 17% /mnt/server 192.168.0.1:/var/log/apache 4064280 1916792 2147488 48% /mnt/sitelogs 192.168.0.1:/dad/pcbypaul 4064280 675776 3388504 17% /mnt/pcbypaul 192.168.0.1:/var/www 4064280 1916792 2147488 48% /mnt/sites 192.168.0.1:/mom/ourplants 4064280 142544 3921736 4% /mnt/ourplants

And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to disparage an important and useful tool like df. I know we aren't all sitting in X playing 5ball all the time. But if we are -- comfort and readability does have some value.
