Shell Programming and Scripting

Greetings everyone.

I have seen that you do wonders here.

I have a large folder on a Ubuntu linux.

Organization main folder, inside 20 000 subfolders, and inside those subolders many other like 5-6 folders and files.

I am interested to create an output to a txt file under the bash shell, for the size only of those 20 000 subfolders, --maxdepth 1.

This is what I have tried so far, I was also trying to ommit with grep folders starting with a letter x, for testing. But whatever I do the command line hangs and produces no output.

Code:

du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -n

du /var -h --max-depth=1 | grep "^x.*" | sort -n

this produces nothing but this

Code:

ls -l | grep "^x.*"

gives some output on other server

Code:

du -h --max-depth=1 | grep x | sort -n | cut -f2 | xargs -d '\n' du -sh

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Please use code tags next time for your code and data

directories are likely printed as ./dir
try

Code:

du -h --max-depth=1 | grep -v './x'

what do you think about,

Code:

for USER in `ls /home`; do du -h --max-depth=1 /home/$USER/; done | awk '$1 > 100000000000 {print $1, $2}'

what does > 1000000000000 stand for ?

Ok, sorry for the mode , will use the code tag next time.

I understood the > 10000000 , it means that the first colon must be higher that 100000
