Get the disk space usage per user

[Droned]

Hello,

I want to get the disk space usage of each user on the machine. I Have found the command -du but how can I consultate the usage per user?

The only thing I can is to consultate the usage of maps...

PS: Sorry for my poor english...

Greetz,

if you mean usage of the users in the home directories, you can do

cd /home
du -h --max-depth=1

yes but it is for a backup script that users can use ( for school job )

One of the points that have to be implemented is :

-possible to consultate the capacity data ( also per user )

How can I do this? because with above command I have errors when user run this, because they don't have permission
