I need to use "cd" on a shell script: move to the directory $home/folder/sub-folder and then check with a conditional statement if the directory's size is more than 2 MB.
How could I accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

5Which part of this task you have issue with? What have you tried already? – kamituel Jul 25 '14 at 20:39

@kamituel The movement to other directory. I tried with alias, but my Terminal does not recognize it as a valid function or statement. – soulblazer Jul 25 '14 at 21:20

1@soulblazer What do you mean `tried with alias`? Put any relevant code in question, as written it's completely unclear what you're having trouble with. – Reinstate Monica Please Jul 25 '14 at 22:04

@BroSlow `alias A = /home/Alicante/A` The terminal as if it's a invalid statement – soulblazer Jul 26 '14 at 00:40

As a suggestion, you should definitively take a look at man du. Something like that might be a good starting point:
du -s $home/folder/sub-folder
