I tried this :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
find $1 -type f -size +$2c -exec dirname {} \; | sort -u | xargs ls -lh

Displays:
Code:
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC    82B Dec 27 11:39 a
-rw-r--r--  1 MorpheusC  MorpheusC   219B Dec 27 11:01 files.txt
lrwx------  1 root       MorpheusC    24B Dec 21 07:53 public_html -> /var/www/u   sers/MorpheusC

Thats not alright. I dont have a total of 8, or 8 what ?Look :
Code:
 ls -lh
total 4.0k
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Morpheus Morpheus       82 Dec 27 11:39 a
-rw-r--r--    1 Morpheus Morpheus      219 Dec 27 11:01 files.txt
lrwx------    1 root     Morpheus       24 Dec 21 07:53 public_html -> /var/www/users/MorpheusC

And i want to put the files bigger than 1K or what value has the second argument in a file (files.txt ), i must use "grep" or just > files.txt ?
like that ./a /home/MorpheusC 100 files.txt
and receive total : of all the files and write the files bigger than 100 in the files.txt

"8" is 8 blocks, or 4.0K.

So what you want is the list of files over a certain size, but then a directory listing of their containing directories? Would this go into a second file? I have to admit I am at a loss as what you are trying to report.

Sorry for my english, is not very good.

I want to make a script that calculates the total size in bytes from files from a directory(first argument) and displays "Total :xxxxx", the second argument must indicate the minimum size of files processed and the third argument indicates the path to a file that will save the processed file names, that have size greater than specified in argument 2.
like this :
Code:
./script /root 100 files.txt

The script displays the total size of files. And in the files.txt will be written the files greater than the second argument.( size:name_of_file). Thanks again

I see.
Code:
find ${1} -type f -size +${2}c -print0 | xargs -0 du -bsS | tee "${3}" | awk '{ N += $1; } END { print N; }'

. Note the size will be in bytes.

It seems that du doesn`t have -bS .....
Code:
./a /home/MorpheusC/ 10 files.txt
du: unknown option -- b
usage: du [-a | -s] [-chkrx] [-H | -L | -P] [file ...]

O darn ... but this is one of the joys of working with many flavors of UNIX. The back to the -ls of find:
Code:
find ${1} -type f -size +${2}c -ls | awk '{printf "%10d %s\n", $7, $NF > OUTFILE; N += $7 } END { print N; }' OUTFILE="${3}"

This User Gave Thanks to m.d.ludwig For This Post:

It seems that works, but i had seen that the total that is displayed
Code:
./a /home/MorpheusC/ 4000 files.txt
4108

is not correct, is the total size of the files greater than 4000 , i want to display the real size of files and in the files.txt to be the rest greater than a value. Thanks again !
