Hello, new user here. If I have a directory structure made up a directory and 6 subdirectories - is there a simple command that will give me the size of the entire directory structure?

Thanks

I like using:

Code: 
ls -lR /filesystem | awk '{sum += $5}; END {print sum}'

Unix *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.

I usually use:

du -sg /yourdir
