Shell – Files greater than 1 GB and older than 6 months

command linefilesfindshell-script

I want to find files which are greater than 1 GB and older than 6 months in entire server. How to write a command for this?

Best Answer

Use find:

find /path -mtime +180 -size +1G

-mtime means search for modification times that are greater than 180 days (+180). And the -size parameter searches for files greater than 1GB.

You're missing that find doesn't need a list of files as input. The problem is that the glob /var/log/arc/* expands to too many files. However, find will recurse into subdirectories by default, so there's no need to use the glob at all:

find /var/log/arc/ -type f -mtime +500 -delete

-delete is a non-standard predicate. If your find implementation doesn't support it, you can use:

find /var/log/arc/ -type f -mtime +500 -exec rm -f {} +

instead.
