Solaris du --max-depth Equivalent

Question

I would like to do the Linux equivalent of du --max-depth=1 on Solaris.

I cannot find an equivalent in the man pages. Any alternatives?

Does find have a max-depth option on Solaris? Can you pipe that out to an xargs du? — mpbloch, Aug 12 '09 at 16:27

Won't this do it?

cd $TOP_LEVEL_DIR
du -s *

Yes, this works almost exactly like the Linux way, without a total count at the bottom, but I can use `du -s .` to get that one. I modified to du -sh * for a more readable output. Thanks! – kekoav Aug 12 '09 at 18:23

You could always install gnu fileutils and get the same functionality. Blastwave would have pre-built packages for newer versions of Solaris.

Good solution, I just needed something quick and dirty for now, thanks. – kekoav Aug 12 '09 at 18:25

Chances is that you have GNU du at /usr/gnu/bin/du. – Lester Cheung Aug 14 '09 at 02:48

Will this work on Solaris?

du | egrep -v '.*/.*/.*'

The du command included with OpenSolaris does support --max-depth!
