Linux Tips & Tricks - Housekeeping with agedu

Linux Tips & Tricks - Housekeeping with agedu

If you're like most people, your computers tend to collect lots of digital piles of stuff you're hoarding for whatever reason. Sometimes it gets to be too much and it's time for a little house cleaning. One of MANY *NIX tools for this purpose is agedu (Say "age dee you"). It's like the traditional du command but with more features and a web based GUI.

Another application with similar intent is k4dirstat and it's one I use for the task of finding and deleting space hogs. It's in the package repos of most Linux distributions, but you can also find it at https://bitbucket.org/jeromerobert/k4dirstat/wiki/Home
OpenSUSE users can find it at https://software.opensuse.org/package/k4dirstat

  1. I like agedu, it is very handy, but how can you keep it running in the background. for me, it always stops in the background and the interface will be gone. I used nohup it works for a couple of seconds then it stops again.
