Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help me out real quick. I am trying to display a list of the /etc directory and sort the output by size and place the smallest files on the bottom of the output.
However, I cannot seem to get it to work. Can anybody tell me the easiest way to do this?
Thanks,
UNIXnewbie
