Sure, but the problem with all these is that one doesn't get usable per-operand totals - only one big overall total. If you take e.g.: find dir1 dir2 fileA -not -type d -print0 | du -hsc --files0-from=- (without the tail), one get's one line per (non-directory) file below dir1 and dir2 as well as one for fileA .. plus the grand overall total, whereas it would be nice to have totals for: - dir1 - dir2 - fielA - overall Cheers, Chris.
