Hi Jim,

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /starting/path
find -maxdepth 1 -mtime +10 -type d | sort | 
  while read -r dir
  do 
     n=0
     find "$dir" -type f -exec (( n++ )) \; #-exec rm {} \;
     printf "%4d : %s\n" $n "$dir"
  done

Whats wrong in above script?

How to test script without rm command. And if I commented
Code:
-exec rm {}

then i'm getting an error. anything i'm missing?

NAME

       libgcrypt-config - helper script for building with libgcrypt

SYNOPSIS

       libgcrypt-config [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir] [--api-version] [--algorithms]

DESCRIPTION

       The  libgcrypt-config tool is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the
       libgcrypt library.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --cflags 	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.

       --exec-prefix=dir       If specified, use dir instead of the exec installation prefix that the library was built with, when  computing  the
			       output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --libs		       Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.

       --prefix=dir	       If specified, use dir instead of the installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output
			       for the --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs  or  --cflags  options.  This
			       option is also used for the exec prefix if the --exec-prefix option is not specified.

       --version	       Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output.
