Hate these ads?



Recently a single line script was posted to UGU to list the largest files
in a filesystem in order of descending size.  The script worked as posted
on AIX but required tweaking for SCO OSR5 and UW7. Here 'tis for your
edification and enjoyment:



OSR5:
        find $1 -type f  -size +2048 -xdev -exec ls -s {} | /bin/sort -brut " " 


        
UW7:
        find $1 -type f  -size +2048 -xdev -exec ls -s {} + | /bin/sort -nr














I placed the script in /usr/local/bin and removed the pipe to "more" in
the published version to allow redirection to a file. I also arbitrarily
added the "-size +2048" to the find command to limit the list to files of
1 Mb or larger; you may modify or remove as desired.



Thank you,
Lucky
