Shell Programming and Scripting

To search for all files with group write permission you can use

Code:

find . -perm -20 -print | xargs chmod g-w > file.txt

The difference between -exec and xargs are subtle. The first one will execute the program once per file, while xargs can handle several files with each process. However, xargs may have problems with files that contain embedded spaces.

And here there are more, find the FIND tutorial in this link from the database:

or something like this could be really better:

Code:

find . -type f \( -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.sh" \) -exec ls -lR {} \; | awk '/^-/ {printf "USER=%-10s GROUP=%-10s FILE=%15-s\n",$3,$4,$9}'
