Before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd see if there's already something cooked up. What I want to do is look at my disks and gather statistics about what is eating the most space. Where the biggest files are, which directories are the largest, etc. I'm running out of room, and I'm sure I must have gigabytes of stupid junk laying around, but I'm not sure where I left all of it.
I figure there's probably some find $dir -[syntax] to pick out files over some specified size, and I could do things with find|xargs du|sort|grep|gawk to pick out the heavyweight directories, but it would be nifty if there's already some handy dandy utility I haven't discovered that does this kind of thing already. Assuming such a thing doesn't already exist, does anyone else thing some kind of handy dandy disk analyzer/reporter flummy to compile and report statistics of this nature would be worth doing in a pretty way? This almost seems worthy of becoming a hack add-on to KDiskFree or something.
