help me write find command

[jlakhani]

At times I have thse Oracle logfiles(listener etc) that grow like crazy and fill up a specific file system. I wanted to write a find command that lists which are the biggest files from the search path..so
/qbidora02/oracledba/find . -name ....... and list file names, sizes and time stamp. any ideas?
thanks

how about find command with -exec combo ...

The -ls flag to find will list the same details as if you did a ls -l, but without addition flags the output is not much different than ls -lR.

The find command with AIX, and probably most other unixes, allows a size flag to list only files over a certain size.

Check the man pages for find. Also check the man pages for ls, recursive listings sorted by size might also be usefull.

You could also try something like
find . -type d | xargs du -sk

It will list the size of the files in a directory.
