Simultaneous searching for files (names matching certain criteria) in several directo
Hello everyone,
My OS is AIX 5.2
I would like some help in getting command syntax that does the following:
1. Searches simultaneously several directories downward;
2. Checks every subdirectory in each directory (and so on...) for file names that contain certain characters such as “~”, start or end (or both) with “# “sign, start with “tset”;
3. Displays these files first with the option of deletion;
4. Or: one command for displaying and another for deleting
Thank you to all responders.

depord

depord(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 depord(8)

NAME

       depord - Sort subset names into dependency order

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/depord [-c ctrldir [-c ctrldir]...] [-f [namefile | -]] [-I  | -i] [subsetID [subsetID...]]

OPTIONS

       Searches the directory ctrldir for subset *.ctrl files instead of the current directory. You can use multiple -c options.  Reads the subset
       names from namefile. If you use the "-" argument instead of namefile, read the subset names from standard input. The namefile and "-" argu-
       ments to the -f option are mutually exclusive. If you also specify subset names with subsetID operands, they are concatenated with the sub-
       set names specified with the -f option.	Includes in the ordered output the names of all prerequisite subsets for the subset name  argument
       list.  The  -I  and -i options are mutually exclusive.  Includes in the ordered output the names of all prerequisite subsets for the subset
       name argument list, and excludes from the output any prerequisite subsets that are already installed. The -I and -i  options  are  mutually
       exclusive.

OPERANDS

       The  name of a subset for dependency checking and ordering. If you also specify subset names with the -f option, they are concatenated with
       subsetID operands.

DESCRIPTION

       The depord command reads the subset *.ctrl files in the specified directories for dependency information, then sorts the subset name  argu-
       ment  list  (and,  optionally, prerequisite subset names) in dependency order.  If other directories are not specified, depord searches for
       subset *.ctrl files in the current directory.  If you install the subsets in the order shown in the depord output, subset dependencies  are
       satisfied.   If	you  are not using either the -I or -i option and if a subset dependency cannot be satisfied by the other specified subset
       names, an error message displays and that subset is not included in the output.	All subsets in a dependency cycle (where subsets are mutu-
       ally dependent) are ignored. An error message displays, and those subsets are not included in the output.

       The depord command is used by the setld(8) utility.

EXAMPLES

       To  sort  the  subsets  listed  on  the command line into dependency order: # /usr/lbin/depord OSFCDEDT500 OSFX11500 OSFCDEMIN500 OSFX11500
       OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To use the -I option to list the prerequisite subsets for OSFDCEDT500, sorted into dependency order: # /usr/lbin/depord -I OSFCDEDT500 OSF-
       BASE500 OSFX11500 OSFCLINET500 OSFNFS500 OSFCDEMIN500 OSFCDEDT500

       To  use	the  -i  option to check the prerequisite subsets for OSFDCEDT500, and exclude from the output those that are already installed: #
       /usr/lbin/depord -i OSFCDEDT500 OSFCDEDT500

RESTRICTIONS

       The -I and -i options are mutually exclusive.

FILES

       Executable file for depord command Indicates subsetID is already installed.  Contents list other subsets dependent upon subsetID.   Control
       files with dependency information
