try replacing this:

Code:

size_dir=$(stat -c %s $1) #$1 has the directory name (e.g. /root/kamal)

with:

Code:

size_dir=$(/usr/bin/stat -c %s $1) #$1 has the directory name (e.g. /root/kamal)

if this doesn't work either, find where is the stat command present at your system and include its full path
