    Is there any report in WHM/cPanel that shows a list of disk usage by folder and by account? I need a good way to monitor where the disk usage is going. Thx.

    There's the Disk Usage viewer which you can use within a cPanel account. But from a server perspective you'll have to us du from the root shell. So, for a report of all accounts in /home you could use:

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

    Hey thanks Chripy :)

    I am aware of the individual cPanel Disk Usage stat but I didn't want to login to each account.

    As for the du command...that is very useful. I can live with it for sure. I figured out the depth parm and that is very useful..
    Thanks again for helping.

    Do you know if there is a way to do a descending sort on the results?

    Not that I'm aware of using just du.

    If you can't see result try this

    Code:
    du -h -S -max-depth=1 > result.txt
    and then check result.txt file.
