Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Need help in checking for files in subfolders Post 302586145 by tes218 on Friday 30th of December 2011 09:17:00 AM

Sorry, yes you are right. I would be doing a 'cd' to a directory under the current one with the same name.

Ex:

Mount point name - /cat
cd /cat
List directories under /cat using ls -l
cat
dog
fish
Find another directory called cat
cd to that directory and list the directories
cd cat
ls -l
keep checking until a directory called cat is not found.

Thanks!

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

NAME
bup-ls - list the contents of a bup repository SYNOPSIS
bup ls [-s] [-a] DESCRIPTION
bup ls lists files and directories in your bup repository using the same directory hierarchy as they would have with bup-fuse(1). The top level directory contains the branch (corresponding to the -n option in bup save), the next level is the date of the backup, and subsequent levels correspond to files in the backup. When bup ls is asked to output on a tty, it formats its output in columns so that it can list as much as possible in as few lines as possi- ble. However, when bup ls is asked to output to something other than a tty (say you pipe the output to another command, or you redirect it to a file), it will output one file name per line. This makes the listing easier to parse with external tools. Note that bup ls doesn't show hidden files by default and one needs to use the -a option to show them. Files are hidden when their name begins with a dot. For example, on the topmost level, the special directories named .commit and .tag are hidden directories. Once you have identified the file you want using bup ls, you can view its contents using bup join or git show. OPTIONS
-s, --hash show hash for each file/directory. -a, --all show hidden files. EXAMPLE
bup ls /myserver/latest/etc/profile bup ls -a / SEE ALSO
bup-join(1), bup-fuse(1), bup-ftp(1), bup-save(1), git-show(1) BUP
Part of the bup(1) suite. AUTHORS
