How to traverse directory structure and sum size of files?
How do I write a bash or ruby or perl or groovy script to print all the files in my directory tree that are one-to-two years old, the size of each file, and the sum of file sizes and then delete them?
I was using
Code:
find . -atime +365 -exec rm '{}' \;
but the problem was that I could not tell if it was hung because it took a very long time. There are a half million files in this directory tree. I can't figure out how to enhance this to give me a sum of the space freed up with the deletes and give me some updates as to what is going on so I know it is not hung.
How do I tell find to get files with in a set of date ranges?
Thanks,
Siegfried

sum
sum(1) User Commands sum(1)NAME
sum - print checksum and block count for a file
SYNOPSIS
sum [-r] [file]...
DESCRIPTION
The sum utility calculates and prints a 16-bit checksum for the named file and the number of 512-byte blocks in the file. It is typically
used to look for bad spots, or to validate a file communicated over some transmission line.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-r Use an alternate (machine-dependent) algorithm in computing the checksum.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file A path name of a file. If no files are named, the standard input is used.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of sum when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of sum: LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and
NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned.
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
|Availability SUNWesu |
|CSI Enabled |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
SEE ALSO cksum(1), sum(1B), wc(1), attributes(5), environ(5), largefile(5)DIAGNOSTICS
Read error is indistinguishable from end of file on most devices. Check the block count.
NOTES
Portable applications should use cksum(1).
sum and usr/ucb/sum (see sum(1B)) return different checksums.
