Stop the scrolling

**chris1985** · 01-29-2005

I ran this command in SSH to a linux server:

Code:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | xargs du -sk | sort -rn

It prints out so much that I cant read it because it scrolls off the top of the screen. How do I stop this happening?

You can send the information to a file:

Code:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | xargs du -sk | sort -rn > myLog.txt

Or you can let out the information slowly using less or more commands:

Code:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | xargs du -sk | sort -rn | less

Code:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | xargs du -sk | sort -rn | more
