JDiskReport

Recently someone brought the application to my attention. It can be downloaded at JGoodies.com
I downloaded the jdiskreport-1_3_0.zip for a SLED10 SP1 install with java version "1.4.2_17".
Unzipping the file extracts the following:

o LICENSE.txt - the license agreement
o README.txt - this readme file
o RELEASE-NOTES.txt - information about changes and bug fixes
o jdiskreport-1.3.0.jar - a signed executable JAR file

The README explains how to start the application:

To run JDiskReport from a command-line, change directory to where the JAR-file is located. Then execute:

java -jar jdiskreport-1.3.0.jar
or
java -jar /path_to_directory/jdiskreport-1.3.0.jar

Nice tool, it shows what's eating up all your space. You get a graphical output instead multiple lines of text, when using "du".

One of the view modes is a Pie Chart of "File sizes in /directory". "Top 50" breaks the output down to a list of 50 largest files in /directory, "Size Dist" shows the Distribution of sizes in /directory, "Modified" gives another Bar Chart with Distribution of modification dates in /directory and "Types" shows the Distribution of file types in a /directory.




JDiskReport takes up 1.7 MB in the /usr/local/bin/jdiskreport dir, I installed it in:
