I am trying to search for files and give me the total size for the files found. This is what I have tried and what I have gotten.

find *.jpg /var/www/html/albums/ | grep du -ac
find: *.jpg: No such file or directory
218

if I run just the find command as such, find *.jpg /var/www/html/albums/, i get all the pictures just find.

I also tried this...

[root@Sun root]# du -c /var/www/html/albums/*.jpg
du: `/var/www/html/albums/*.jpg': No such file or directory
0 total


It doesn't like the *jpg. I believe this is cause it's only looking in the albums dir, and the pictures are are in dirs under that.

I came across this command(s). It appears to be working, but if somebody could verify.
[root@Sun albums]# find /var/www/html/albums/ -type f -path *.jpg |xargs du -shc
