HP-UX

Hi,

I am looking for a command or script which should list out the files that uses database password 'June1232011'.

I know where the files are located (path) .Since there are too many files exist in the directory, i want to find out the files that uses this password.

It would be a great help if you could provide the solution for it.

Thanks

Code:

find /path/to/files -type f -exec grep -l  'June1232011'  {} \;  > passwordfile.lis

Try that to start with. Copy the command exactly, change only the 'path/to/files' part

Thank you .

What to give in place of " path/to/files" and should i run this command from root directory or logging in as root user something like that ?

Thanks

You said you knew the path to the files you want to search. Put the actual directory string starting with /

Thank you for the command.

I executed the command like this .

find /app/interface/home -type f -exec grep -l 'secret123' {} \; > passwordfile.lis

I have one doubt here.

There are some other directories inside /app/interface/home............
/app/interface/home/msocesm/exe

My question here is ... when i execute the find command as below

find /app/interface/home -type f -exec grep -l 'secret123' {} \; > passwordfile.lis

Will this command searches the files in the home/msocesm/exe (which is followed by /app/interface/home directory) ?

Thank you..

Yes.

If you do not want that:

Code:

cd /app/interface/home 
grep -l 'secret123' > $HOME/passwordfile.lis

Where $HOME is your login directory. HOME is usually set for you at login.

Thanks..

Should i run this command as root user ?... because i dont find the output of this command.
