largest files in UNIX file system - script needed

[gopi]

Okay, I may take some heat for posting a UNIX question but I'm certain every DBA has had this issue.

Does anyone have a script that drills down all sub directories starting in a given directory and lists files in the order of size, largest to smallest?

Thanks!

du -sk . # the '.' is the root-dir for this command you also can use '*' but only visible Dirs are listed

This was for directories only

use the find -cammand ( deep filesearch )

find . -print # look in manpages for order-option

Hi,

Try this:

du -sk * | sort -n

Putting it all together:
find . ! -type d -exec du -sk {} \; | sort -nr
