 Unix Tip #4441- May  9, 2025
 
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
