[shilpa1sai]

Objective:
To write a script to check Binary files reaching size more than 1.8 G.

I am in a fix.I have a directory which has binary files.I have file sizes that are growing beyond 1.8 G.Can somebody help me to get a script that will check these binary files size have reached more than 1.8G or not.

I know the logic flow but not the syntax.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Check the file size(binary files)in a given directory
If the size is greater than 1.8G
write a warning messsage into a temproary file(say zyz which is already created)
else
write no problem and come out.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Your quick response is much appreciated as I know in your past experience Gurus like you would have come across this scenarios.

Thanks and warm cheers
