First of All let me say T H A N K S ! to Author Rene for sharing this fantastic "time saving" script.

It works fine on my joomla 3.x

Some notes

MANDATORY
2 files:

• jfindfiles
  https://gist.github.com/renekreijveld/27d9062b941a2d0c80f3-
• jfunctions
  https://gist.github.com/renekreijveld/9663741
• SSH Session, better if you use root

STEPS

• Download and upload jfindfiles and jfunctions on your joomla root, in my case in keep joomla on site folder
• chmod +x jfindfiles (I also done for jfunction but I think it's not necessary)
• ./findfiles

OUTPUT
findfiles created 2 files : mysitename-notused.txt and mysitename--used.thx
