Find Empty Directories in Unix Where there is no -empty option supported with find command


I have recently had a requirement of finding the empty directories in mount point (or) file system where there is no "-empty" option of find command is supported/available.

if its there. Its very simple just like given below

find . -type d -empty

This is the alternate way to get it done.


There are few Sub directories under mount point




Take a list of them into a text file. I named it as testfile here.

 

I have designed this sample script to do the work for me.



 It will write a log file with -empty- or -notempty- tag lines.
