Basic Linux

Daily used or worth using Linux pages

1.How to find the Size of a directory --Directory Filesize

2. Get count of files from current directory in Linux

    ls -1 | wc -l

3. Delete file solder than 150 days from current directory 

        find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +150 -exec rm -f {} \;

    Same can be done as parallel execution. 

nohup find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -mtime +150 -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1000 -P 10 rm -f

I have also written a python script for deletion of files from a folder . This can be found in my posts
