Using find -exec with multiple commands :(-
Hi all, Am wanting to do a ls -l of the files and do a cat of it at the same time, ideally, I am hoping that the following work but obvisouly it is not working to what I am wanting it to ... hu hu hu  Code:
find . -name "BACKUP_TIMESTAMP.log" -exec "ls -l basename {} ; cat {}" \;BACKUP_TIMESTAMP.log are one-liners that contain the date and time of when the backup was taken. From the find syntax above, I guess the experts/gurus would know that am wanting to be able to a ls -l and then cat the content of the files found. Can anyone suggest how I can get this to work the way that I want it to? Thanks in advance. |
