Question Issues I'm having with the Find Command

Smilie

I've been trying to display all my files in my /tmp directory when I'm in it. I just can't get the darn find command working...
And I've been trying to look at my /tmp directory on my home directory and I know I'm messing something up there..
Another issue I had while back but never seemed to post it is trying to list all the files in /usr/bin/ looking for a names with Y or like any letter really..
Also wanted to find the right way of looking at files in the /etc directory that begins with a letter I keep messing up by using find /etc -name 'wa*'
and I wanna give their long listings. as well. And wanting to do a interactive confirmation to the long list of the files in the /etc i wanted to search for.

Some thing I want double check for you guru's out there~!
I'm needing to learn how to create a file that holds all the names of files /lib/ directory that begin with any letter. I got something like tar -cczf files.tar.gz w* but that can't be right for the lib directory....

Want to double check on this one as well in my /lib/ directory i got a files that start with Unerical larger than 40 blocks I keep need help i got this find /lib -name 'u*' -size +40 trying to see if that correct by your guys eye's


and I got another one I don't I listed this one to be looked over wanted to list all of the directories under my /etc directory
by my guess its (find /etc -type d) if thats correct just tell me i'm not sure when Im doing it.

Thanks! If this looks weird its how I type :P

i-ls(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   i-ls(1)

NAME
i-ls - display file stat and checksum information for files SYNOPSIS
i-ls [-s] filename i-ls [-s] dirname Specify a filename for i-ls to examine, or specify a directory with dirname to examine all the files in the directory. -s Do not show/calculate checksums for all regular files. DESCRIPTION
The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when trusted files have been altered. integrit records information about files in a database. i-ls allows the user to see that information for live files. The output syntax is the same as that of integrit. EXAMPLES
i-ls /tmp/foo.txt shows file stat attributes for the file, "/tmp/foo.txt". i-ls /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp". i-ls -s /tmp shows file stat attributes for all files in the directory, "/tmp", also including also checksums for all regular files. AUTHOR
Ed L Cashin <ecashin@users.sourceforge.net> See the integrit web site for up to date releases and information at http://integrit.sourceforge.net/ SEE ALSO
