Full Discussion: create more than 100 directories and copy files into them
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting create more than 100 directories and copy files into them Post 302568179 by felipe.vinturin on Wednesday 26th of October 2011 01:48:38 PM

Please, execute the command below:
Code:
find /home/dataset -maxdepth 1 -name "hour_*.txt" -type f

I think it is an environment issue, because some "find" command distributions does not accept the: "-maxdepth" option.

If you want you can remove it: "-maxdepth 1", but it will try to find all files that match the pattern: "hour_*.txt" under the directory ("/home/dataset"), I mean, it will include subdirectories.

binfmt.d

BINFMT.D(5)							     binfmt.d							       BINFMT.D(5)

NAME

       binfmt.d - Configure additional binary formats at boot

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/binfmt.d/*.conf

       /run/binfmt.d/*.conf

       /usr/lib/binfmt.d/*.conf

DESCRIPTION

       systemd uses files from the above directories to configure additional binary formats to register during boot in the kernel.

CONFIGURATION FORMAT

       Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel binary format rules. Consult binfmt_misc.txt[1] for more information on registration of
       additional binary formats and how to write rules.

       Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are ignored. Note that this means you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules.

       Each configuration file is named in the style of <program>.conf. Files in /etc/ overwrite files with the same name in /usr/lib/. Files in
       /run overwrite files with the same name in /etc/ and /usr/lib/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in
       /etc/ are reserved for the local administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the configurations installed from packages. All files
       are sorted by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the directories they reside, to ensure that a specific configuration
       file takes precedence over another file with an alphabetically later name.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. /etc/binfmt.d/wine.conf example:

	   # Start WINE on Windows executables
	   :DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), wine(8)
