bash script to find file type
Hi, I need assistance creating a bash script which main purpose would be to search an specific mount directory /mnt/directories in which it will list the amount of files per directory and its file types as well a total global amount of files and total amount of file types. For example if there are 2 directories marc and john under /mnt/directories it will list their file type under each directory, file size per directory and then it will give the total amount of files for instance .doc or .xls 16 files .xls and 15 files .doc. Also it should provide the total amount of files added based on date per extension.

My first step to this would be to list all of the files that will have the extensions found and then to find todays date.
I would appreciate your help.
