I'm working on a bash script to move files from one location, to two. The first part of my challenge is intended to check a particular directory for contents (e.g. files or other items in it), if files exists, then send the list of names to a txt file and email me the text file. If files do not exist, do nothing. It's not working as intended. Mailing the file is fine. Checking for contents, sending contents to file, is not. Assistance is appreciated.
I need to determine if any three files have the same file size in a specified directly?
I have got as far as listing the file sizes but where to go from here?
ls -al |sort -n -r +4 | awq '{print $5}'

cp
CP(1) General Commands Manual CP(1)NAME
cp - copy
SYNOPSIS
cp [ -ip ] file1 file2
cp [ -ipr ] file ... directory
DESCRIPTION
File1 is copied onto file2. By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source
file modified by the current umask(2) is used. The -p option causes cp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification
times and modes of the source files, ignoring the present umask.
In the second form, one or more files are copied into the directory with their original file-names.
Cp refuses to copy a file onto itself.
If the -i option is specified, cp will prompt the user with the name of the file whenever the copy will cause an old file to be overwrit-
ten. An answer of 'y' will cause cp to continue. Any other answer will prevent it from overwriting the file.
If the -r option is specified and any of the source files are directories, cp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case the
destination must be a directory.
