do you mean it should be find "${mDir}" and not find ${mDir}?

does the {} mean you can attach other things to it?
thanks!

#!/usr/bin/ksh
find /home -type d | while read mDir; do
mTot=$(find "${mDir}" -type f | wc -l)
if test $mTot -gt 2000
then
echo "${mDir}:${mTot}"
fi
done


i think this works
it just takes a little while to get started (but psosibly due to a lot of files, i guess it cant be any faster than this)

thanks Smilie

sometimes it says that a directory cant be found, strange
find: /home/bbweb/public_html/media/categories/Signatures: No such file or directory


also when counting files,

can it only count what is directly under it? (either files or files + directories)

for example, it shows a lot of files under /home/vashleyb even though there are only 20 files + directories under it
/home/vashleyb should show a small number like 20 (either # of files or directories directly under it), and not the total # of files of everything under it

thanks

/home/vashleyb:16678
/home/vashleyb/public_html:16490
/home/vashleyb/public_html/gallery:12825
/home/vashleyb/public_html/gallery/albums:10569
/home/vashleyb/public_html/gallery/albums/userpics:5452
/home/vashleyb/public_html/gallery/albums/userpics:5452

i put in -maxdepth 1

mTot=$(find "${mDir}" -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l)

which is ok now

its trying to find some directories that dont exist though, not sure why
find: /home/ultbrit/public_html/photos/albums/Ontour/Babyonemoretime/July 06 1999 - Washington DC: No such file or directory
find: /home/ultbrit/public_html/photos/albums/Ontour/House of Blues: No such file or directory

xfreefontpath

XSetFontPath(3X11)						     MIT X11R4							XSetFontPath(3X11)

Name
       XSetFontPath, XGetFontPath, XFreeFontPath - set, get, or free the font search path

Syntax
       XSetFontPath(display, directories, ndirs)
	  Display *display;
	  char **directories;
	  int ndirs;

       char **XGetFontPath(display, npaths_return)
	  Display *display;
	  int *npaths_return;

       XFreeFontPath(list)
	  char **list;

Arguments
       directories
		 Specifies the directory path used to look for a font.	Setting the path to the empty list restores the default path defined for
		 the X server.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       list	 Specifies the array of strings you want to free.

       ndirs	 Specifies the number of directories in the path.

       npaths_return
		 Returns the number of strings in the font path array.

Description
       The function defines the directory search path for font lookup.	There is only one search path per X server, not one per client.  The
       interpretation of the strings is operating system dependent, but they are intended to specify directories to be searched in the order
       listed.	Also, the contents of these strings are operating system dependent and are not intended to be used by client applications.  Usu-
       ally, the X server is free to cache font information internally rather than having to read fonts from files.  In addition, the X server is
       guaranteed to flush all cached information about fonts for which there currently are no explicit resource IDs allocated.  The meaning of an
       error from this request is operating system dependent.

       can generate a error.

       The function allocates and returns an array of strings containing the search path.  When it is no longer needed, the data in the font path
       should be freed by using

       The function frees the data allocated by

Diagnostics
       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
		 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument
		 defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
