Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Finding 'ls' to bypass system alias Post 302942325 by Corona688 on Monday 27th of April 2015 05:02:24 PM

'locate' is not a good idea. It's not installed on many systems, and may be unused on some where it is.

Insisting on /bin/ls is not a good idea. Some distributions might insist on putting them somewhere else.

Aliases are an interactive session thing -- they're not generally enabled in scripts at all. You have to go to special effort to make them happen. So this is probably unnecessary.

stap-report - collect system information that is useful for debugging systemtap bugs SYNOPSIS
stap-report DESCRIPTION
The stap-report executable collects system information that is useful for debugging systemtap bugs. It is a good idea to include such a report in bug reports especially if you send them directly to the upstream. stap-report can be run either as a normal user or as root. The report will be more complete if stap-report is run as root. EXAMPLES
$ stap-report > report.txt $ head report.txt == id == uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=122(stapdev),123(stapusr),129(stapsys) == stap -V == Systemtap translator/driver (version 2.2.1/0.153, Debian version 2.2.1-1) Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Red Hat, Inc. and others This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. enabled features: AVAHI LIBSQLITE3 NSS TR1_UNORDERED_MAP NLS == which stap == /usr/bin/stap == locate --regex '/stap(run)?$' | xargs ls -ald == SEE ALSO
