finding larger files...
 
How to find files which are more than 10Mb along with locate path and creation date?

At the bottom is even the line for printing a certain column of the output of ls. You just have to change the $8 to the correct column.

try find:
Code:
find /base/directory -type f -size +10000k -printf "%p %c\n"
For detailed information look at man find.

but not supported on all versions
Code:
jan@jack:~/tmp> find --version
GNU find Version 4.1.7
jan@jack:~/tmp> find . -size +10M -print
find: invalid -size type `M'

Which antique are you using? :}
Slackware 12.1 comes with
$ find --version
GNU find version 4.2.31
Built using GNU gnulib version 2007-02-24

On which system? ;-) On my main desktop system a SuSE 9.1 is running, but I'm also running Debian Woody (!) and SuSE 8.2 on other parts of my zoo. I know, I should have upgraded a long time ago for security reasons, but I'm too lazy for such a stupid work %-/

My (upgraded) firewall's main task is to protect me from bad things from outside, so I can continue working inside on my ancient systems.
