+# Fun with Find
+
+## Find the total size of certain files within a directory branch
+
+```bash
+find <path> -type f -iname '*-bin*' -exec du -ch {} +
+```
+
+---
+
+## Find files larger than...  
+
+
+### 100M:  
+
+
+```bash
+find . -type f -size +100000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
+```
+
+### 1G:  
+
+
+```bash
+find . -type f -size +1000000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
+```
+
+...and so on...
+
+---
+
+## Find, archive and purge old files
+
+```bash
+# Find disk space used by logfiles older that 360 days
+find /var/log/hbase -type f -iname "*log*" -mtime +360 -exec du -ch {} +
+
+# Archive those files to another location
+find /var/log/hbase -type f -iname "*log*" -mtime +360 -print0 | xargs -0 tar cfz /tmp/hbase-logs.tgz
+
+# Delete the original files
+find /var/log/hbase -type f -iname "*log*" -mtime +360 -delete
+```
+
+Replace `hbase` with the log directory you want to search.  If you don't need to save the archives anywhere, skip step two.
