I have a shell script which was written for Mac OSX and now ported to a linux machine. I don't have access to a linux machine currently( I will be setting up a virtual machine soon) Some statements in the shell script are failing, which is expected. I have a find command statement used for finding files sizes greater than 1MB: 

oversize=`find "$somePath" -maxdepth 1 -size +1048576c -iname "*.gz" -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l | wc -l` oversize=$((oversize * 1)) if [ $oversize -eq 0 ];then echo "OK" else echo "Limit exceeded" fi

Any idea if something is wrong with this statement ? It flagged a file whose size was 1045400 bytes

I have a find command statement used for finding files sizes greater than 1MB:

For that use -size +1M

 oversize=`find -maxdepth 2 -size +1M -exec ls -lh {} \; | wc -l` oversize=$((oversize * 1)) echo size of oversize = $oversize if [ $oversize -eq 0 ];then echo "OK" else echo "Limit exceeded" fi

It 's giving the output

size of oversize = 96

Limit exceeded

That is true right?

update

See here for me its giving correct output

 [max@localhost ~]$ find Downloads/ -maxdepth 1 -size +1048576c -name "*.pdf" -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l | wc -l 9 [max@localhost ~]$ find Downloads/ -maxdepth 1 -size +1048576c -name "*.pdf" -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 1443224 Oct 11 17:04 Downloads/------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 1330293 Sep 29 15:27 Downloads/-------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 12825921 Oct 1 18:49 Downloads/--------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 8197602 Sep 29 15:46 Downloads/--------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 1604859 Oct 11 17:23 Downloads/------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 2792931 Oct 24 11:27 Downloads/--------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 5382152 Oct 9 14:52 Downloads/----------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 1113609 Sep 29 15:46 Downloads/--------.pdf -rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 9198710 Sep 29 15:40 Downloads/---------.pdf

  • I used your command and the script stared giving correct output. What's wrong with my implementation? Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 2:30
  • $somepath what path you are giving here? And what error you are getting? Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 4:57
