find --version
GNU find version 4.2.24
ls -la > /tmp/ls.txt
find /tmp -name ls.txt -print
find /tmp -name ls.txt -ls
find /tmp -name ls.txt
returns stuff ..
----- each of these has many other equivalent solutions ----
to find changes in the last 7 days
find /etc -mtime -7 -ls
to find changes ONLY on Sep 1 ( 4 days ago )
find /etc -mtime 4 -ls
to find anything that has "foo" in the name
find /etc -name \*foo\* -sl
to find only symlinks
find /etc -type l -ls
to find only directories
find /etc -type d
to find only files and symlinks
find /etc \( -type f -o -type l \) -ls
to remove "core" files .. but its dangerous, so check it first
find /etc /root /usr -name /core$ -ls
find /etc /root /usr -name /core$ -exec rm -f {} \;
find /etc /root /usr -name /core$ -print | xargs rm -i
.. endless list of stuff ..
