Another option. I don't know if this works with AIX, but

du -sh $(find /opt -type f -size +10M) | sort -nr

produces these results (files larger than 10MB):

Greetings fellow scripters.

I find myself editing multiple files, sometimes with the same bits of information. My bash script, a changelog, and a plist file (OS X). Once I realized this, I...

Corona,

If I'd have exercised that bit between my ears... I'll try this out in my script.

Robin,

What I'm trying to do is display the top level directory as du is grabbing size data from it's contents, and grab the total size of all contents for a variable used later in a script.
...

Perhaps I am overthinking (I can't deny that I do that frequently), however on both Ubuntu and OS X,
VAR=$(du -a ./ | awk -F'[/ \t]' '{ T += $1 ; printf("\rChecking %40s", $2) >"/dev/stderr" } END...

Greetings,

It seems obvious to me that I am missing something here. I have the following:

Took me a moment to decipher what you suggested, but it is perfect and simple. Two things I love in my scripts.

Thanks!!

Greetings!

Thank you both for your replies. Didn't realize the backticks were deprecated/obsolete. Still see both methods in use on so many of the examples. Love being able to come here and get quick polite...

Thought I had this worked out, and the equations work fine on their own.

What I have is an if statement that checks the raw size of a folder. Smaller than a certain threshold and it returns a...

I would use the simpler method of checking /proc, but the directory doesn't exist in OS X.

I'll try -n and see if that resolves the error.
thanks!

I have a while loop in my script that works most times, but has generated an error once that has me a bit confused. I'm using ps to grab the runtime of a backgrounded command, and testing it to...

Perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for!

Okay, I've been working on a script for providing information on the progress of a backgrounded ditto command. Thanks to google and a lot of searching I've resolved all but one very odd error. At...

I have a script that runs ditto for me, and occasionally (if I exit the script while ditto is running in the background) it will leave an empty file named 0 in the script's directory. The next time I...
