Looking for files with certain characteristics (Linux / Unix)
I was about to use chown to change the ownership of an entire subdirectory tree that had been passed from one user to another. But - hang on - were there any files there that belonged to someone else for any reason? One way to find out - a find command: find . -not -user savethetrain -print "Find all the files in or below the current directory that do not belong to the savethetrain account" Other options to find include: -name - look by name -uid - look by user id -mtime - look by file modified time -perms - look by permissions -size - look by file size (written 2008-05-22 06:47:06) Associated topics are indexed under A161 - Web Application Deployment - Users and Groups[2639] su or su - ... what is the difference? - (2010-02-17) [2491] Root is root for a reason! - (2009-11-03) [2301] Mistaken identity? - (2009-07-22) [2203] Always use su with minus.
