What I do is run is script in the crontab every night using DU. The old
LST crashes on my machine with a guard fault - too many nested directories
I suspect. DU seems to be better - I'm running sr9.7 in a mainly AEGIS
environment, but I have to run UNIX on my server (well, install it anyway).
DU is pretty dumb since if you have AEGIS links that point to your users home
directory (as in a MENTOR environment) DU returns the size of the diretcory
and not its contents ( viz 1 block ).
