UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

Is there an option to run ls to only show files owned by the current user? Currently doing ls | awk | grep for the user.

If I use find and -user ${username}, I am getting Permission denied messages on some directories and am currently re-directing those messages as 2>/dev/null. Is that the expected behavior for find when it is searching for files even if I've used -user already?

Any feedback much appreciated. Thanks.

I cant recall any such option with ls.. you can add below command to alias

Code:

 
ls -ltr|grep `whoami`

and yes thats the expected behavious of find.

What happens when grep finds a file named username? find is the better solution here.

And yes, that's expected behavior of find when trying to open directories it doesn't have read permissions for.
