How to list Matching Directories OR NULL w/o error message?
I want to be able to get all the directories in a path into a variable array, BUT if there ARE NO directories I want the Variable to be NULL and not echo any error message!
If there ARE directories, this will get the list of the directories whose name begins with the string "20":
Code:
DATE_DIRS=$(ls 20* -d)
And "ls 20* -d" entered at a command prompt will list the directories on the console.
But if there ARE NO directories then script or the command spits out the annoying error "ls: cannot access 20*: No such file or directory"
Hello,
I would assume the expression ^$ should match a null string. Yet when I run:
echo -n | sed 's/^$/nullstring/'
I get no output.
Can anyone tell me why? (6 Replies)

createhomedir
createhomedir(1) BSD General Commands Manual createhomedir(1)NAME
createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer.
SYNOPSIS
createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username]
DESCRIPTION
createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories.
OPTIONS -s creates home directories for server home paths only (default).
-c creates home directories for local home paths only.
-b creates home directories for both server and local home paths.
-a creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path.
-l creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain.
-L causes the created home directory to be localized.
-n directoryDomainName
creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path.
-u username
creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a,
-l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed.
-i reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line.
-h usage help.
FILES
/usr/sbin/createhomedir location of tool
CAVEATS
When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible
home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly.
