LARGES FILES MORE FLAVORS

Recently a single line script was posted to UGU to list the largest files in a filesystem in order of descending size. The script worked as posted on AIX but required tweaking for SCO OSR5 and UW7. Here 'tis for your edification and enjoyment:

OSR5:
find $1 -type f -size +2048 -xdev -exec ls -s {} | /bin/sort -brut " "

UW7:
find $1 -type f -size +2048 -xdev -exec ls -s {} + | /bin/sort -nr

I placed the script in /usr/local/bin and removed the pipe to "more" in the published version to allow redirection to a file. I also arbitrarily added the "-size +2048" to the find command to limit the list to files of 1 Mb or larger; you may modify or remove as desired.

Thank you, Lucky Leavell
