So, as a VERY wild guess, try changing:

#############
for numbers in "${maximumarray[@]}"
do
   if [[ $numbers > $MAX  ]]

to:
Code:
#############
MAX=0
for numbers in "${maximumarray[@]}"
do
   if [[ $numbers -gt $MAX ]]

I don't see why -depth would change the results, but using > instead of -gt performs a string comparison instead of a numeric comparison. So, for example 2 > 12 is true while 2 -gt 12 is false.

i changed > with -gt and it works thank you
i am using bash2 and running on unix free bsd server
and also max=o is at the beginning of the script
this is only a part of script

but i have another problem

my script must pass through tester

all test are okay except when running script like this
./skript.csh dirctory directory directory

it should search all these three directories and find the longest links it has the same code as above only first if have test -d "$1" if the first argument is directory and in find is "$@" insted of "." and there are two test in these test the tester run script with more directories and first test is ok but second not and i dont know why any idea where can be problem. also there are directories and links with special characters in name or spaces but script work with them good
