Need quick 1-line script help.

I would like it to work with RHEL3, but the more portable the better.

I want a line that would sort and print out the 10 or 20 largest files in my whole system.

Thanks.

This works in debian:

du -ba|sort -bfn|tail -n 20 (or 10, if you wish)

How about:

Code:

find / -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l | cut -d " " -f "6-" | sort -rbfn | head -n 20
