Hi John,
I think i know some of these....
1) ls -a > filecount && wc -l filecount
2) find /<your_dir> -perm 0755 -print > exec_count && wc -l
exec_count (i think this'll work.. I didn't try it. man find
for more info)
3) ls *.tar.gz > tar.gz_count && wc -l tar.gz_count
4) ls *.c | sort
'|' is know as the 'pipe symbol'..... in case you didn't alreay
know.
Hope that helps!
Jimmy Richards
