I appreciate the advice, I was kind of thinking the same thing myself while looking at it that I needed some sort of for loop to iterate through the servers executing the same command while storing file locations in variables and simply comparing each server to the 1st. I don't really have any idea of how i could apply a for loop to ssh multiple servers that were in an Array for instance. Though I did rework the code a bit and came up with the following solution, though you couldn't be as specific in your output you could easily spot an error.
Would the following code do the trick or am I missing something?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Is there a command that will return the name of the largest file within a directory? If so, can I set the returned filename into a variable? (4 Replies)

I need to get a file size and compare it to a previous day file size. If it's larger or smaller by 50 percent I'll replace the new with the old. I know how to get the file sizes but do not know how to calculate if it's 50 percent difference.
Thanks for your help. (2 Replies)
Hi everyone!
I need to compare two file sizes.
One of them (size) will be stored in a flat file and the other coming from a listed file.
I can now get the first file size using:

join
JOIN(1) User Commands JOIN(1)NAME
join - join lines of two files on a common field
SYNOPSIS
join [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2
DESCRIPTION
For each pair of input lines with identical join fields, write a line to standard output. The default join field is the first, delimited
by blanks.
When FILE1 or FILE2 (not both) is -, read standard input.
-a FILENUM
also print unpairable lines from file FILENUM, where FILENUM is 1 or 2, corresponding to FILE1 or FILE2
-e EMPTY
replace missing input fields with EMPTY
-i, --ignore-case
ignore differences in case when comparing fields
-j FIELD
equivalent to '-1 FIELD -2 FIELD'
-o FORMAT
obey FORMAT while constructing output line
-t CHAR
use CHAR as input and output field separator
-v FILENUM
like -a FILENUM, but suppress joined output lines
-1 FIELD
join on this FIELD of file 1
-2 FIELD
join on this FIELD of file 2
--check-order
check that the input is correctly sorted, even if all input lines are pairable
--nocheck-order
do not check that the input is correctly sorted
--header
treat the first line in each file as field headers, print them without trying to pair them
-z, --zero-terminated
line delimiter is NUL, not newline
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Unless -t CHAR is given, leading blanks separate fields and are ignored, else fields are separated by CHAR. Any FIELD is a field number
counted from 1. FORMAT is one or more comma or blank separated specifications, each being 'FILENUM.FIELD' or '0'. Default FORMAT outputs
the join field, the remaining fields from FILE1, the remaining fields from FILE2, all separated by CHAR. If FORMAT is the keyword 'auto',
then the first line of each file determines the number of fields output for each line.
Important: FILE1 and FILE2 must be sorted on the join fields. E.g., use "sort -k 1b,1" if 'join' has no options, or use "join -t ''" if
'sort' has no options. Note, comparisons honor the rules specified by 'LC_COLLATE'. If the input is not sorted and some lines cannot be
joined, a warning message will be given.
