size of directory
Hello again;
I have a directories and subdirectories in my current directory and i wanna to find the directories( and subdirectories ) which are larger than what user enters as first parameter.
find . -type d -size +"$1"c -print > directories.dat
I used this command and i am not sure it is working properly.
Because i entered the
./myprog.sh 300
and it found empty directory.
Or i entered the
./myprog.sh 500000
and it found nothing however in the current directory i have directories which are larger than 500000 bytes
i wonder this command are working for directory search or not working
Thanks for your replies..
