to parse a directory and its subdirectories and find owner name of files

vyasa · #1 (**permalink**) 05-27-2009

hi all,

i need to capture all the files in a directory and its subdirectories that have owner name different than the root owner.

for one file it is " stat -c %U filename " but i need to search for each and every file and record it.

thanks in advance

Here is the code it will print the files that is not owned by root

==============

find $PATH -type f -exec ls -l "{}" ";" |
awk -F" " '{print $3 ,$9}' |
awk ' $1 !~ /root/'

if you have Python

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os,stat
for r,d,f in os.walk(os.path.join("/home","path","path2") ):
    for files in f:
        filepath=os.path.join(r,files)
        owner=os.stat(filepath)[stat.ST_UID]
        if owner!=0:
            print filepath

Thanks for the reply...is there a way to implement this using PERL scripting.
