Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How do I redirect output from "find", either to a file or another command? Post 303043866 by arghvark on Sunday 9th of February 2020 01:12:41 PM

This looks more or less like what I need, but I need some help parsing it. When I try to execute the command in the root directory, it says I don't have access, which is fair.

I think of the ">" symbol as "redirect output to a file, I'll tell you what the filename is". I think of "|" as "take this output and feed it into another program", which doesn't require a filename. I can tell that "2" and "1" represent stdout and stderr; is there a way to direct them both to the pipe, instead of the file? AFAIK, I/we don't have to first direct output to a file and then to grep, and in fact I don't know that it will work that way.

NAME
gtkpod - GTK2 based software for managing songs and playlists on an Apple iPod SYNOPSIS
gtkpod [-h] [-m path] [-p filename] [--hash filename] DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly describes the gtkpod command. OPTIONS
gtkpod supports the following options: -h, --help Displays the help message. -m, --mountpoint path Define the mountpoint of your iPod. -p filename Increment playcount for file filename by one. --hash filename Print gtkpod hash for file filename. FILES
~/.gtkpod/prefs Per user configuration file. Should normally only updated through the program itself. /etc/gtkpod/prefs Global configuration file. Used if no configuration file exist for the user starting gtkpod. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.in If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it at startup This is done before attempting to mount the iPod directory (optional) or read the iTunesDB (optional). ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.out If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it while exiting the program. This is done after attempting to unmount the iPod directory (optional) and sending the "eject" command to the iPod (optional). /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.in, /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.out Used instead of the per user scripts if the former ones don't exist and these do. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.load If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it before loading the contents of an iPod with the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line argument. Put any commands needed to access the iPod here, for example if you need to mount the iPod manually. ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.eject If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it when ejecting an iPod with the the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line argument. Put any commands you want to execute after gtkpod has written the changes to the iPod here. For example: sudo eject $1 gtkpod will not attempt to do any magic of it's own to mount/unmount/eject the iPod. AUTHOR
