Subject: Re: shell commandsGood morning! We are currently developing a software for our undergraduate thesis.
I would like to ask for shell commands: (1.) for getting the Redhat Linux version currently installed; and (2.) for getting the directory/folder size
For #2, we have tried the [du -s foldername] command, but the size that we get from the shell prompt is not the same as when we right click on a folder and view its size. We are currently using Redhat 7.2.
We hope you could shed some light on our problem. Thank you.
