You can use the following to find anything bigger than 1 GB: > find /System/ -type f -size +1G Or this to find anything not in the Users folder: > find / -not -path '/Users/*' -type f -size +1G You could combine that with the "mail" command to send any results. I think "mail" requires that you have an account configured in Mail.app; I'm not sure of the requirements, but I've seen this tip before. > find / -not -path '/Users/*' -type f -size +1G | mail -s "Files over 1 GB" > [email protected] And then run that at least once a day from launchd. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
