Find a particular directory in multiple file systems and calculate total size
Hello :

I need some help in writing a ksh script which will find a particular directory in all the file systems in a server and finally report the total size of the direcotry in all the file systems.

Some thing like this..

find /u*/app/oracle -type d -name "product" -prune

and then iteratively report the size of the product directory per file system and report the total size for the directory in all file systems in the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Find total size for some files?

Hi, I'm newbie to Unix. I'd like to count the total size of those files in my directory by date. For example, files on this period 05/01/08 - 05/31/08. If possible can we count by byte instead of kb. if I use $ du - ks , it will add up all files in the dir. thanks, Helen (5 Replies)
