This is a shell script which was partially written by myself and
polished by Nelson H.F. Beebe and used as an example in "Classic Shell
Scripting" by Robbins and Beebe:
---------------------------filesdirectories---------------------------
#! /bin/sh -
# Find all files and directories, and groups of
# recently-modified ones, in a directory tree, creating
# lists in FILES.* and DIRECTORIES.* at top level.
#
# Usage:
# filesdirectories directory
IFS='
'
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin # need GNU find for -fprint option
export PATH
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 directory" >&2
exit 1
fi
umask 077 # ensure file privacy

One could change the fprint formatting to add the block count or byte
count to get an idea of sizes.
