disk space used for files with in a directory structure.
Hello,
I am new to shell scripting and would really appreciate if someone could help me with this question.
I have a directory structure as follows..
main directory is DATA under which i have different directories names fileserver01, fileserver02 ... till fileserver 15.
under each of these there are more subdirectories named
123456, 123567,123984..... 234859,234503.. etc.
under each of these six digit subdirectory there are more subdirectories named subdir1, subdir2, subdir3... subdir7, which in turn contains individual files.
Now, my question is.. how can I find the disk space used by certain amount of files(not starting with "deleted") under subdir1,subdir3 and subdir4. also, the disk space should be based on the first three digits of the directories starting with eg..123, 234 etc.
ie. I need to find the diskspace of DATA/iterate thro' all fileservers/grouped under the matching first three digits eg 123*)/specified directories eg.subdir1,subdir3,subdir4)/(files not starting with "deleted").
I hope my question is clear.
I am using Ksh.
Thanks in advace.

RM(1) General Commands Manual RM(1)
NAME
rm, rmdir - remove (unlink) files or directories
SYNOPSIS
rm [ -f ] [ -r ] [ -i ] [ - ] file ...
rmdir dir ...
DESCRIPTION
Rm removes the entries for one or more files from a directory. If an entry was the last link to the file, the file is destroyed. Removal
of a file requires write permission in its directory, but neither read nor write permission on the file itself.
If a file has no write permission and the standard input is a terminal, its permissions are printed and a line is read from the standard
input. If that line begins with `y' the file is deleted, otherwise the file remains. No questions are asked and no errors are reported
when the -f (force) option is given.
If a designated file is a directory, an error comment is printed unless the optional argument -r has been used. In that case, rm recur-
sively deletes the entire contents of the specified directory, and the directory itself.
If the -i (interactive) option is in effect, rm asks whether to delete each file, and, under -r, whether to examine each directory.
The null option - indicates that all the arguments following it are to be treated as file names. This allows the specification of file
names starting with a minus.
Rmdir removes entries for the named directories, which must be empty.
