Shell script to Give free space on hard disk & propose a list of files to be delete
Hello everybody!
This is my first time having to write a script so your help is most appreciated.Also i am a beginner when it comes to linux so please bare with me.Thanks in advance to all who will look into this for me. I have to write a bash script that will show the free space on the hard disk and also to generate/propose a list of files to be deleted to free up space. So far the part that shows the free space on the hard disk can be solved using the "df" command.As for the part with generating/proposing the list of files to be deleted i don't know how to proceed. This is what I have so far: Code:
#! /bin/bash clear df -h exit Last edited by nixcraft; 30-05-2009 at 09:27 PM.

df will only list free space on the system. To list top 10 space eating files in current directory, enter:
Code:
ls -lSh . | head -10 Code:
ls -lSh . | head -10 | awk '{ print $8}' | sed '/^$/d'
ls -lSh /var | head -10 | awk '{ print $8}' | sed '/^$/d'
Code:
find /var -type f -ls | sort -k 7 -r -n | head -10
