BASH Prompt PS1 Directory Size and File Count

I added this command to my root .bashrc file to add color to my prompt and to simplify its path portion to the lowest level directory,

Code: export PS1="\e[1;31m\u@\h:\W\$\e[m " and my bash prompt comes up ending with $ when I expected #. Also, occasionally, when I enter a command, part of that command becomes part of my prompt! If the following is a prompt and command,

Code:

1. Write a menu driven shell program to

a. Display calendar of current month. b. Search for a pattern in all the files/subdirectories from current directory. c. Count the no. of directories / sub directories in current directory. 2. Display day of week for a given date.

hi All,

I am using the command

Code: find /home/mqm/check/ -mtime +1|wc -l to get a count of the files older than a day under the check directory. But instead of getting the count of the files under check directory I m getting a count including the check directory itself.

I'm using zfs on my FreeBSD 9.0 x64 and pretty happy with it, but I find it hard to count directory real, not compressed, size.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem:

Write a script called countFiles that takes two arguments, the initial directory and the number of levels and returns the count of all files (including directories) in the directories and subdirectories up to the number of levels.
