thanks, but there are a lot of directories and when i try to run it in /home it doesnt work
the /home directory has about 1000 accounts
and when i start the program it doesnt load
each user has probably over a thousand directories
i tried running it on one directory and it listed a thousand of them
is there a way to only list it if its more than X number of files in that directory?
and a way to speed it up in the beginning?
otherwise it will list like a million files on the screen
thanks

ok i modified it a bit
what does the {'s do around the variable?
#!/usr/bin/ksh
find /home/bbweb -type d | while read mDir; do
mTot=$(find ${mDir} -type f | wc -l)
if test $mTot -gt 1000
then
echo "${mDir} ${mTot}"
fi
done
out put is something like
/home/bbweb 2470
/home/bbweb/public_html 2372
/home/bbweb/public_html/videos 1209
find: /home/bbweb/public_html/media/categories/Signatures: No such file or directory
im not sure why the last line says it cant find the directory?
thanks!
