My file size is bigger than yours

[segment]

Greets all... Whipped up something personal which has something else eluding me...

grep -i denied /var/log/access.log |awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' >> /tmp/`date +%b%d`.denied
hour=`date|awk '{print $4}'|sed 's/:/ /g'|awk '{print $1":"}'`
day=`date|awk '{print "2005.9."$3}'`
grep $day /tmp/*.denied|grep $hour

Simple lame script to check for anything denied in a log file which then sends it to /tmp which later emails me from cron. However... When the file is null (usually under 4k) it's still sending me mail... I thought of something like:

size=`ls -la /tmp/*denied |awk '{print $5}'`; if [ $size -gt "4000000" ]; then do something ; else echo die ; fi

Just tired, bored, and out of caffeine.

For what I'm not trying to find files. Right now I can chmod +x that upper file and run it and it does what it's supposed to do... I don't want to find files in /tmp I wanted to look at /tmp/*.denied and if anything there for the hour was under 4k to ignore it, anything over email it.

In the find man page pay attention to the -name and -size primaries.

Another note:
hour=`date "+%H:"`

find /tmp -name '*.denied' -size +8 -exec mailscript {} \;

find /tmp -name '*.denied' -size +4k -exec mailscript {} \;

filelist=$(find /tmp -name '*.denied' -size +4k -print)

check your find man page
