Command to list large files

Looking for a line to show all of the large files on a unix server (over 300mb)...

Having problems finding anything that works...

TIA!

Code:
find /path -size +1048576 -exec ll {} \;

looks for about 500mb using blocks, 629145 ~ 300 MB

Thanks for the response... I went to my root and typed: find / -size +1048576 -exec 11 {} \;

And it didn't show any results... I was hoping I could find all of the files on the entire server for over 300MB and spit out the results. Thanks again!

Or ls -l

This may have come from ZazzyBob at some point, but I've been using it for a while.


In Linux this example shows the 10 largest in /opt. Change /opt to suit.

find /opt -type f -printf "%k %p\n" | sort -rn | head -10

Oh... I also tried ls -l, l and ls... still no go...
