Hello list,
I have got a very simple problem
I want to get the most biggest files in a directory tree
my first apporach was following
ls -lR | sort -r -k 5,5
But this is not sufficient, because I need the full location of the file
the second approach was
find . -name "*" -exec ls -ld {} \; | sort -r -k 5,5
This works, but it is far too slow, I have thousands of files to process
My rerquirements are follwing
* I want to detect all files recursivelyt, wherever they are
* Just put them into a pool and list them with full path, sorted by the biggest
Do you know a solution ?
Can you make ls printing the full path name when listing recursively ?
Thanx in advance.
