find problem with exec
Hi, i want to make a script that calculates the total size in bytes from files from a directory(first argument) and displays "Total :xxxxx", the second argument must indicate the minimum size of files processed and the third argument indicates the path to a file that will save the processed file names, that have size greater than specified in argument 2.

I tried with find:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
find $1 -type f -size +$2k -exec ls -lh {} \; > $3

But i get this :

Code:
./a /var/tmp 2222 ss
find: /var: No such file or directory

if i type the code find without path like this : find -type f -size 6579c displays the files from /home/morpheusc but when i try: find -type f -exec ls -lh \; | grep total it displays eight times : like this
Code:
total 8.0K
find: ./public_html: Permission denied
total 8.0K
total 8.0K
total 8.0K
total 8.0K
total 8.0K
total 8.0K

I dont understand why when i try find /var/tmp -type f -size 6579c .... it says that no files found.

DIAGNOSTICS

       problems were encountered writing log file

	   There were problems encountered when the kernel was writing the logfile.  The most common problem is running out of disk space.

       invalid log file

	   The logfile is not a valid logfile or was created with a newer version of Solaris than the one where cachefswssize is running.
