Home directory size limit script

joeblow12 · 01-04-2012, 10:17 AM

I am trying to create a script that will allow me to run the following:

du -sh /home/*

but remove all the lines that have over 32MB of information. I am unable to use disk quotas or i would have tried that. please help?

I'm trying to write a script to check the home directory and provide me with the directories over 32MB.

du -sh /home/*

10MB /home/user1
32MB /home/user2
6MB /home/user3
40MB /home/user4
8MB /home/user5
21MB /home/user6
35MB /home/user7

I want to only be shown or in a file

32MB /home/user2
40MB /home/user4
35MB /home/user7

du -s /home/* 2>/dev/null|while read SIZE ITEM; do [ $SIZE -gt 30000 ] && du -mhs "${ITEM}"; done

I hope this is not an assignment, but something like this would work:

Code:

du -s /home/* |du -hs `awk '{ if ($1 > 1024*32) print $2}'`
