Hi everybody! I'm trying to make a script that will do the following... I want the script to be able to check the filesizes in a directory and if it is greater or equal to 1.5gb (1500000000) to send an e-mail to the administrator... How would I go about it? So far I have the following, but it doesn't seem to be working... any ideas? if [ `ls -al <directory>/* |awk '{ print $5 }'` -eq 1500000000 ] then echo "Yes!" else echo "No!" fi The "echo's" are for testing to see if the script works, if it does I can arrange to send an e-mail to the admin, thar's not a problem. Thanks in advance!

I made a little typo, in the if statement it is not -eq but -ge, sorry, thanks.

man find find $directory -size +15000000k -exec ls -l {} \; > find.out if [ -s find.out ] ; then cat find.out | mail -s "Search Results `date`" admin@domain.com else echo "NONE FOUND" fi

Thank you very much! Works like a charm :)
