MySQL Copy a file based on the size-Urgent
Hi,

I need unix code to check the size of a file. for example if the size of the file in A folder is more than 1BM, then i have to move that particular file in to B folder whenever I run that particular script.

regards,
Srinivas.

Code:
find ~ -size +1M

Finds the file which are bigger than 1MB. You can move it as
Code:
find ~ -size +1M -exec mv {} /somewhere/ \;

the file size is 3.5 GB and the OS is AIX 6.1

My first reaction is to use unix "compress" command but it's better if an AIX expert comments.
