[Klug-general] out of inodes

[James Morris]

Ok, here's a BASH script to count files:

---------------8<-----------------
#!/bin/bash
DIR=$1

if [ "x" == "x$1" ]
then
DIR=$PWD
fi

TOTAL=0

while IFSO= read -r -d $'\0' dir; do
COUNT=0
while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' file; do
    let "COUNT += 1"
done < <(find $dir -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0)
echo "${dir} ${COUNT} files"
let "TOTAL += COUNT"
done < <(find $DIR -type d -print0)
echo "total files ${TOTAL}"
---------------8<-----------------

I've based it upon some code here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1956144/bash-script-to-rename-all-files-in-a-directory/1956165#1956165

I've done a simple test and the output is like so:

gensys at gentoomus ~/Projects $ ./count boxyseq
boxyseq 45 files
boxyseq/gridtest 30 files
boxyseq/gridtest/eventlist 2 files
boxyseq/listtest 14 files
total files 91

You can specify a directory to it, or it'll use the current working
directory. It trusts what you tell it.
