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:

#! /bin/bash
clear
df -h
exit

Well the easy solution is something like this.

[/code]
#!/bin/bash
clear
df -h

for i in $(df -h | awk {'print $6'} | grep -v Mounted); do
find $i -size 100M
done
[code]

This thou will work somewhat wierd since / will print _all_ files that are above 100Mb and the it'll print the individual partitions.

You can solve this by adding a
| grep -v "^\/"
after Mounted.

But then all the files on the root partition won't show.

Hope this gives you a pointer.
