which is looking for regular files owned by user database that contain exactly 1073741824 bytes. I don't see that any of first three lines of the -ls output provided by the above find command meet that criteria.

I agree that if the command had been:
Code:
find /home -type f -user database -size -1G -ls

then the output shown might be expected. But with 1G as the -size primary's argument (not -1G), I don't understand the output shown.
Thanks for the reply!

The fact the 1st three lines appear (Bash startup scripts) but don't meet the criteria of my find command when I explicitly using the -size 1G test is why I'm posting. I would expect with the find criteria I'm using for ONLY the large1.log to show up. I'm trying to figure out why the Bash startup scripts are appearing when they shouldn't be.
