  • List large files in Linux

    Command to find and list all files above a defined size. Works for debian based distros and Centos.  If the output its wrong in other systems, you can play with awk params.

    find . -type f -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'

  • Find latest file in a directory methods

    Sometimes there are so many files in a directory that it’s hard to find the last file in the directory. We show you here 2 ways for finding it out.

    With awk we print the last argument of the last line:

    $ ls -lrt | awk '{ f=$NF }; END{ print f }'

    Reverse ordering with ls and then getting the first line:

    $ ls -t1 | head -n1
