Script to count number of files in directories
I have ommited directory names:
Code:
 more usage.sh
#!/bin/ksh
for dir in /directory1/subdirectory /directory2/subdirectory
/directory3/subdirectory 
do
#echo "$dir $( du $dir |wc -l)"
echo "$dir `du $dir |wc -l`"
done > ./message1
mailx -s "nš files" fretagi@mcel.co.mz < ./message1

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for dir in /directory1/subdirectory /directory2/subdirectory
/directory3/subdirectory 
do
#echo "$dir $( find $dir -type f |wc -l)"
  echo "$dir find $dir -type f |wc -l"
done > ./message1
mailx -s "nš files" fretagi@mcel.co.mz < ./message1

Script to count number of files in directories
Hi

In front of the directory name print this:
Code:
-type f |wc -l

so no change

You need command substitution like $(...). Try
Code:
  echo "$dir $(find $dir -type f |wc -l)"
