# Script
#     directory-size.sh
# Description
#     Checks the size of a directory in Kilo Bytes
# Declare Parameters
#     1) sDirectory (string) - Directory to check
#     2) nMaxSizeMB (number) - Maximum allowed size of the directory in MB
# Usage
#     directory-size.sh sDirectory nMaxSizeMB
# Sample
#     directory-size.sh /etc/bin/ 30
