I think I understand the grep thing...I can't get this to evaluate...

for i in `cut -f1 $wdirect/users-homes`; do if [ $i > $size_plateau ];
then `echo $i`; fi; done

where $size_plateau is set to a number - what's the trick?

I keep getting for a result...
./chksize-users-profiles: line 6: 9444: command not found
etc.
