ibizatunes · 02-23-2010, 01:30 PM

Hello

Code:

FILE_SIZE=`find /home/joe -type f -mtime +500 du -h | tail -n 1`

I would like FILE_SIZE to have the total figure of disk space used after 500days query is applied in human readable format
All i get is joe total home drive, not the -mtime query amount
Please help

Find all newer files and count with awk

Code:

find /home/joe -type f -mtime -500 -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ s+=$5 } END { print s }'
