finding large files

Chris Baugh — Thu, 13 Mar 2003 09:29:24 GMT

does anyone know the best way of finding files where the size > 1Mb, ordering by size

I've used the following

ls -lR *|awk '{ if ( $5 > 1000000) print $0 } '|sort -n -k5,5

but this doesn't give the full path of the files

Hi,

db001:# cd /var
db001:/var# find . -size +1000 -exec ls -l {} \;

find . -size +1000000c -print

Will list all files, and their path, which are over 1MB. To sort change to;

find . -size +1000000c -exec ls -l {} \; | sort -n -k5,5

du -ak | awk '{ if ( $1 > 1000) print $0 } '|sort -n

will give you the size and full path, however it includes dirs as well as files, so you'd need to add some extra scripting if you want to remove them.
