I honestly thought the idea of daystart was to start mtime from like, 12am, but that command was sorta thrown at me, so I just used it.

Also from the above image, I honestly can't tell what mtime...

Oh sorry, so I don't want individual files to be recorded, I only want the size of the folder.

Alright so I've tried a couple different things that at first glance, looked like they worked.


find . -maxdepth 5 -type d -daystart -mtime 1 | xargs du -h Which seems to ignore the previous...

Can you post a sample?

You can also use n to go to the next occurence and N to go to the previous randthen a singular input to replace i for insert esc to get out of insert

Thought it might help, I do alot of pattern...

Hello again,

A little while back I got help with creating a command to search all directories and sub directories for files from daystart of day x.

Hey all,

So I have an AWK command here

Alright, well I did some more research since I originally posted this thread, and as much as I'd like to delete it, I can't, so I'll just extend my initial question a little.

Right now I have 3...

Sorry I was busy all weekend.

I'm using this to basically run daily checks on our linux box at work.

The initial query is..
find . -daystart -mtime 0 -type f | xargs ls -sSh > data_DDMMYY
...

I've looked at a few different posts and none have entirely answered my question.

Wondering how i'd go about using AWK to export to an excel file, which i gather would be a .csv file from what...

Awesome, yeah I have a space between the file size (700k) and filename (data_sample1_test) on purpose and hoped that each field was infact each string/delimited by spaces.

Also the reason I used...

I feel like a real leech now, 3 questions in 3 days, but hopefully when I get my head around all of this I can contribute back to this community!

Anyway, so a couple of you guys have gotten me...

Gather data from linux server and output to a file named data_DDMMYY
Output file must contain the file name and size

Part 2.
Compare todays data_DDMMYY to yesterdays...

Thanks heaps, I'm not real familiar with this sorta thing as you may have noticed :p but I learnt a new terminology, pipe. ^.^

Not to push your good will, but now that I have files being updated...

Just wondering if I'm able to get a datestamp and filesize in the output?
Either way this is very useful, adding > filename to the end allowed...

Hello all,

I'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I've used the search function and can't find the specifics of what I'm after.

I am brand new to playing with linux, and ideally I want to...
