No problem.
I just thought of a way to get the results I like in a one liner, here it is:
find . -exec ls -ld {} \; | grep -v ^d | sort -n -r --key=5 | less
Of course, you could also redirect the output to a log file:
find . -exec ls -ld {} \; | grep -v ^d | sort -n -r --key=5 > /tmp/log_file
It's slower than the perl solution, but having thought of both, it is
cooler. I think that I'm going to refine the perl script a bit and add
something like a progress bar so that you can see that it's still
running, and make it more robust. It's something I want to keep
around. OTOH, if I still worked as an admin, I'd save the one-liner in
my Palm Pilot so that I could type it in whenever iI needed it.
