ORIGINAL QUESTION:

I am trying to figure out how much room my /usr/local directory is using.
It is not its own filesystem. The df command will tell me how much the
/usr is taking up, but I only want to know the /usr/local (and all
subdirectories). Is there any way to do this? TIA! (Oh, this is DU
4.0b)

SUMMARY:

Use the du command. du -sk /usr/local will give a summary in
kilobytes for the given directory.

The responses are STILL pouring in! I got 5 answers before I got my
original question. Thanks so much for the dozens of immediate replys!
