echo "No arguments given..."
elif [ -d $1 ];then
set -- `ls -lr $1|cut -d " " -f5,8|sort -n|tail -1`
echo "$2 is the largest file with size $1"
else
echo "invalid"
fi

read basic

umin=`echo $tm | cut -d ":" -f2`
shr=`date "+%H"`
smin=`date "+%M"`
if [ $smin -lt $umin ]; then
shr=`expr $shr - 1`
smin=`expr $smin + 60`
