Thanks. Will try it in details. Currently, it is taking like really forever to scan my bunchs of old school hard drives! du options are easy to remember, ergonomy first^ May I suggest a good one to remember `ls -ltrapR` <- It always kill anyone aside ;)

So you shouldn't really need a dedicate script to do that as it's just a problem between your pseudo-TTY (Linux console) and yo…
Thanks for your inputs. A few comments: I first created that script called m years ago on some Unix boxes that I was using. Could have been HP-UX or other version. And I've used it over the years on many Unix and Linux versions that I worked on. It could be that in some cases, the script is needed due to a tty or TERM or other configuration issue. But I'm pretty sure that I've had the need for it (to remove those con…
