in reply to Script to show space usage by users in home partition

Ach! I have sudo privileges on only a small subset of commands, dhog apparently being some home-rolled version of du. du is not a program I can `sudo.` So
%du --max-depth 1 -h /fst/home/ du: `/fst/home/lost+found': Permission denied <bunch more permissions denied messages> ... 5.9G /fst/home/user1 <bunch more permissions denied messages> ... 3.4G /fst/home/user2 etc.
I imagine anything that actually tries to look inside of users' filesystems won't work (and, rightly so). The admins have carefully created dhog so I can't find out much, I think, and of course dhog doesn't have a -h flag.

I like computer programming because it's like Legos for the mind.
