hello As a somewhat unix/Linux newbie I have a few questions for this list:
they are in no spesific order: 1: I have a text file that in of itself is a list of files. I would like to take that list and grep though them to find a string. I think this can be done with a shell script (Bash) but I have know idea how. Can anyone give me some pointers and or post a script ? ... TIA 2: The purpose of the above question is to find a file that has a string (IE search all the files on the hard drive for the string "foo" and list the files that have foo in it) Now that I know what file has "foo" in it I need to log all the programs that write to this file ? eg. program foobar and program foobarx both write to text file /usr/lib/cows I need to know what program is writing to that file and when is there a way to acopmlish these things without jumping into a c program ...
