It's easy to do this with find and awk: % find / -type d | awk 'length > LIMIT' where LIMIT is the numerical value you want to be exceeded (in your case, MAXPATHLEN). You can add "> /tmp/longpaths.txt" to obtain a list file for further reference. > or can I somehow run the periodic script in verbose mode to see the output? You could manually run it. Note that it's output is tailored to "generate mail messages" about success or failure which is then mailed to the system administrator. See /etc/defaults/periodic.conf for various *_verbose variables to make the scripts themselves be more verbose. But I only can see those: daily_clean_tmps_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted daily_clean_preserve_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted daily_clean_rwho_verbose="YES" # Mention files deleted You could however (temporarily) add your own debugging statements to the script in question. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
