Thanks for your response, Peasant. I had decided to do the following before your response, and is working great. It looks to see if any files exists, sends the contents to a text file and emails the output of the file. If no items exists in the directory, it does nothing. This is only a quarter of the entire script and what needs to be done. I may be posting additional questions on this.:
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}'
Thanks in anticipation (5 Replies)
