Dealing with size in scripts.
I have a few scripts in mind that would deal with file sizes but i don't know how to handle them. I want to be able to do a command limited by a certain size and be able to search for files above a certain size. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

use du to get file sizes... check out the du man page for useful options. just store the output of 'du filename' in a variable and set up an if block... put the commands that are conditional on size within the if block.
