find, over quota directories

branden_burger · 11-06-2005, 08:45 AM

Hello all.

I need to run a simple shell script to find which directories are over 20MB in the /home directory and their sizes. This is what I came up with,

find /home/ -size +20240k -exec ls -sh {}>over_quota \;

But it lists files, and not directories

which is what I need.

Thanks!

Code:

find -type d -exec du --max-depth=1 -m {} \;| awk '$1 > 20 {print}'

Cheers,
Tink

That was almost it, but this is it!!

find -type d -maxdepth 0 -exec du --max-depth=1 -m {} \;| awk '$1 > 20 {print}'

just needed a maxdepth argument to find...i really need to figure out how to awk, and sed.

Thanks a ton!
