Command/Script to display largest most recently created files

Khalil Ahmed — Fri, 08 Mar 2002 11:13:47 GMT

Can anyone suggest a unix command/script that I can use that will recursively traverse the directory tree and display all files ordered by creation date and size, i.e. I want to display the largest most recently created files on the system.

In fact, what would be even better is if I could specify a file size as a parameter to the command/script and I get back only those files that are larger than the specified file size (hope I???m not asking too much!).

Many thanks

PS: Not too many responses please, not interested in the cleverest way of doing it just one that will work and give me the result I require ??? thanks.

Do like this to find files greater then 10 MBs

find DIR -type f -size +10000000c -exec ll {} \;
