Linux searching for files in the server
Hello folks.
This is my first tutorial. For new Linux sys admin (or user ) like me searching file is a hard task. You can use find command to search any file. Find command Syntax find /path/to/search -name "file-name" Examples Search myfile.txt : Code:
find / -name "myfile.txt" Code:
find / -name "*.conf" | more Code:
find / -name "*.conf" > /tmp/files.txt Code:
find / -perm /220 Code:
find /etc -mtime 0 Code:
find . -type f -name ˜*.tmp" -exec rm '{}' \;
Syntax: locate use to list files in databases that match a pattern. Find abc.txt file: Code:
locate abc.txt
