I sent these to Crist last night. The shell script doesn't work :) (what
can I say...I threw it together in 20 minutes)....however, the find will at
least give a count of files in each directory based on where you run the
find command from and store the output to a file of your choice. I don't
think you will be able to answer this guy's questions with simple command
on the command line. Its going to require scripting (I think)
find . -type d -exec wc -l {} \; >files.out
#!/bin/ksh
counter=0
var=0
file=files.out
find . -type d -exec wc -l {} \; >$file
for loop in `cat $file | grep -E [0-9] | awk '{print $1}'`
do
counter=$((counter + 1))
var[$counter]=$loop
if [ $counter = 2 ]
then
if [ ${var[1]} -gt ${var[2]} ]
then
largest=${var[1]}
counter=1
elif [ ${var[2]} -gt ${var[1]} ]
then
largest=${var[2]}
counter=1
else
counter=1
fi
else
blah=0
fi
done
echo "The largest directory had $largest files: `grep $largest $file`"
rm $file
