Count of files in directories
Hi,
I have a requirement to find out the count of files in directories. I can do this very well by goind to each directory and then ls -lrt | wc -l. But I need to do it for hundreds of directories/sub-directories.
I tried with this -
for i in `ls -F | grep '/$'`; do `echo "$i"`| ls -lrt `echo "$i"` | wc -l; done;
but its not working. To execute this and I need to go to a directory but it wont give the count of files in sub-directories.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
locate.conf
LOCATE.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual LOCATE.CONF(5)
NAME
locate.conf -- locate database configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The locate.conf file specifies the behavior of locate.updatedb(8), which creates the locate(1) database.
The locate.conf file contains a list of newline separated records, each of which is composed of a keyword and arguments, which are separated
by white space. Arguments with embedded shell metacharacters must be quoted in sh(1) style. Lines beginning with ``#'' are treated as com-
ments and ignored. However, a ``#'' in the middle of a line does not start a comment.
The configuration options are as follows:
ignore pattern ...
Ignore files or directories. When building the database, do not descend into files or directories which match one of the specified
patterns. The matched files or directories are not stored to the database.
Default: Not specified.
ignorecontents pattern ...
Ignore contents of directories. When building the database, do not descend into files or directories which match one of the speci-
fied patterns. The matched files or directories themselves are stored to the database.
Default: Not specified.
ignorefs type ...
Ignore file system by type, adding type to the default list. When building the database, do not descend into file systems which are
of the specified type. The mount points are not stored to the database. If a ``!'' is prepended to type, the meaning is negated,
that is, ignore file systems which do not have the type. As a special case, if ``none'' is specified for type, the ignorefs list is
cleared and all file systems are traversed.
type is used as an argument to find(1) -fstype. The sysctl(8) command can be used to find out the types of file systems that are
available on the system:
sysctl vfs.generic.fstypes
Default: !local cd9660 fdesc kernfs procfs
searchpath directory ...
Specify base directories to be put in the database.
Default: /
workdir directory
Specify the working directory of locate.updatedb, in which a temporary file is placed. The temporary file is a list of all files,
and you should specify a directory that has enough space to hold it.
Default: /tmp
Refer to find(1) for the details of pattern (see -path expression) and type (see -fstype expression).
FILES
/etc/locate.conf The file locate.conf resides in /etc.
SEE ALSO
find(1), locate(1), locate.updatedb(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The locate.conf file format first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.
