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
