Use this script at your own risk.

System Requirements

• UNIX OS
• Standard tools (awk, bash, du, grep, sed, ...)

Installation

• Download the file "ts".
• Make it executable (e.g. "chmod 755 ts")
• Move the file "ts" to a directory of your choice (e.g. "sudo mv ./ts /usr/local/bin/"). The directory should be contained in the environment variable $PATH , so that you can start the script "ts" without entering the whole path.
• For security reasons I suggest changing the ownership to root ("chown root.root /usr/local/bin/ts"). This prevents (unwanted) changes in the script that maybe done by the script owner).

Usage

commandprompt> ts [Options] [Directory]

[Options]
-h | --help    this help screen
-about         why ts?
-p <integer>   Only Pie Parts larger that <value> percent will be shown (default: $MIN_PIE_PART%)
-r <integer>   Radius of Pie Chart (default: screen size; if not detectable: $RADIUS_DEFAULT_SIZE)
-ru            display ruler
-s G|M|K|A     display size in Gigabyte/Megabyte/Kilobyte/Auto (default)
-v             print version information and exit
--             break command line parsing (needed if Directory begins with \"-\")

If no [Directory] is specified the current work Directory will be used.
