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.

feed::find

Feed::Find(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Feed::Find(3pm)

NAME

       Feed::Find - Syndication feed auto-discovery

SYNOPSIS

	   use Feed::Find;
	   my @feeds = Feed::Find->find('http://example.com/');

DESCRIPTION

       Feed::Find implements feed auto-discovery for finding syndication feeds, given a URI. It (currently) passes all of the auto-discovery tests
       at http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/autodiscovery/.

       Feed::Find will discover the following feed formats:

       o   RSS 0.91

       o   RSS 1.0

       o   RSS 2.0

       o   Atom

USAGE

   Feed::Find->find($uri)
       Given a URI $uri, use a variety of techniques to find the feeds associated with that page. If $uri itself points to a feed (i.e., if the
       Content-Type of the response is a recognized feed type), returns $uri.

       Returns a list of feed URIs.

       The following techniques are used:

       1. <link> tag auto-discovery
	   If the page contains any <link> tags in the <head> section, these tags are examined for recognized feed content types. The following
	   content types are treated as feeds: application/x.atom+xml, application/atom+xml, application/xml, text/xml, application/rss+xml, and
	   application/rdf+xml.

       2. Scanning <a> tags
	   If the page does not contain any known <link> tags, the page is then scanned for <a> tags for links to URIs with certain file
	   extensions. The following extensions are treated as feeds: .rss, .xml, and .rdf.

	   Note that this technique is employed only if the first technique returns no results.

   Feed::Find->find_in_html($html [, $base_uri ])
       Given a reference to a string $html containing an HTML page, uses the same techniques as described above in find to find the feeds
       associated with that page.

       If you know the URI of the page, you should provide it in $base_uri, so that relative links can be properly made absolute. Feed::Find will
       attempt to determine the correct base URI, but unless that URI is specified in the HTML itself (in a "<meta>" tag), you'll need to supply
       it yourself.

       Returns a list of feed URIs.
