too many files to list 3

[dwcasey]

Trying to do a simple ls in a directory and I'm getting:

ls: 0653-340 There is not enough memory available now.

Is there a way to format a find command to say show me files that are 6-months or 12-months old? That might allow me to get some of what's in there.

this will let you see all the files in there-
find /some/directory -type f -exec ls -al {} \;

this will let you see all the files changed more than 30 days ago-
find /some/directory -type f -ctime +30 -exec ls -al {} \;

this will let you delete all the files changed more than 30 days ago-
find /some/directory -type f -ctime +30 -exec rm {} \;

Hi,

You can also increase the ncargs value (in sys0) via a chdev. It can be too low in some case, but it solves a lot of "arg list too long" error messages to increase it.
