[SunHELP] Any script to get the total size of a list of file?

Something like...

find . -type f -ls | awk '{ SUM = SUM + $7 } END { print SUM / 1024 " KB" }'

... assuming your find outputs the size as column 7 (I tested that briefly
on a linux box) and that none of the columns run together.

Or...

find . -type f -ls | awk '{ SUM = SUM + $2 } END { print SUM " KB" }'

Will.
