Or if you want to test arbitrary directories at runtime, you can specify them as arguments to the script in the command line. You will then have to make the script loop as many times as arguments to the script you specified previously. That way you don't have to hardcode the directories inside the script.

I am trying to modify the script to include checking for the filesize and report if it is less than average of the files present in the directory.
I can find average file size using the below command, but how do I check if any of the last two file size is less than the average size ?
Code:
AvgFileSiz=$(ls -l | awk '{s+=$5} END {s/NR/1024/1024 "MB"}')

Please help. Thanks
