Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers [Solved] weird in find -exec command Post 302695225 by Lem on Sunday 2nd of September 2012 05:19:14 AM

GNU find 4.4.2 on linux works as expected:
Code:
$ find /tmp/*test* -user `whoami` -type f -exec ls -lrt '{}' \;
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:54 /tmp/test2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test3

Of course in the command above the ls "-rt" options are meaningless, since ls is run once for every file found. This below is good:

Code:
$ find /tmp/*test* -user `whoami` -type f -exec ls -lrt '{}' +
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test3
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:53 /tmp/test1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lem lem 0 2012-09-02 10:54 /tmp/test2

crypt::passwdmd5

PasswdMD5(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					      PasswdMD5(3)

NAME

       Crypt::PasswdMD5 - Provides interoperable MD5-based crypt() functions

SYNOPSIS

	   use Crypt::PasswdMD5;

	   $cryptedpassword = unix_md5_crypt($password, $salt);
	   $apachepassword = apache_md5_crypt($password, $salt);

DESCRIPTION

       the "unix_md5_crypt()" provides a crypt()-compatible interface to the rather new MD5-based crypt() function found in modern operating
       systems.  It's based on the implementation found on FreeBSD 2.2.[56]-RELEASE and contains the following license in it:

	"THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
	<phk@login.dknet.dk> wrote this file.  As long as you retain this notice you
	can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think
	this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return.   Poul-Henning Kamp

       "apache_md5_crypt()" provides a function compatible with Apache's ".htpasswd" files. This was contributed by Bryan Hart <bryan@eai.com>.
       As suggested by William A. Rowe, Jr. <wrowe@lnd.com>, it is exported by default.

       For both functions, if a salt value is not supplied, a random salt will be generated.  Contributed by John Peacock <jpeacock@cpan.org>.

   EXPORT
       None by default.
