Hi. It worked with c, but i have a problem. Dont know how to display the total size in bytes of all the files.

The actual code of the script is :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
find $1 -type f -size +$2c -exec ls -lh {} \; >$3

After ./a /home/MorpheusC/ 100 files.txt had written in files.txt this :
Code:
-rw-r--r--  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   773B Mar 17  2010 /home/MorpheusC/.cshrc
-rw-r--r--  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   398B Mar 17  2010 /home/MorpheusC/.login
-rw-r--r--  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   113B Mar 17  2010 /home/MorpheusC/.mailrc
-rw-r--r--  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   218B Mar 17  2010 /home/MorpheusC/.profile
-rw-------  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   3.5K Dec 27 07:15 /home/MorpheusC/.bash_history

I want to display in the files.txt only the name of the file and size in Bytes. At the end of the command to display the total size of files without that restriction of size. Just total like this :
Code:


Code:



./a /home/MorpheusC/ 100 files.txt
Total : xxxx bytes

and in the files.txt to write just the name and the file size name:size in Bytes.

I tried to put another ls -lh in the script after argument 3 but no luck.
Thanks in advance.

pam_console_apply

pam_console_appy(8)					   System Administrator's Manual				       pam_console_appy(8)

NAME

       pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console

SYNOPSIS

       pam_console_apply [-r]

DESCRIPTION

       pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console.
       If  /var/run/console.lock  exists,  pam_console_apply  will grant permissions to the user listed therein.  If the lock file does not exist,
       permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root
       owns them.

ARGUMENTS

       -r     Signals  pam_console_apply to reset permissions.	The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock
	      has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists.

FILES

       /var/run/console.lock
       /etc/security/console.perms

SEE ALSO

       pam_console(8)
       console.perms(5)
