Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

well i am not that good in shell prog. and just shifted to do this work.
i was assigned to look all the dir/ sub-dir in a folder like /usr who are the owners, users and groups for the respective dir/sub-dir.
its really a hectic process to see each n every file.
i used the command... find . -type d -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g'
but its displaying only the files. i need the info abt the dir,owner,groups,users as well.
for that is there any command.



now i need to create the same file structure in diff servers.
i need help regarding this. i dont have any clue??
for this do i need to create a script? or any other method?
if its a script any suggestions.

need to start this by weekend. so need this ASAP.


can anybody help me in this please. that would be a great help.

waiting for your response...

Thanks,
Krishna

check out the rsync command. search for examples.

Don't forget our good friend tar (and the path limitations that come with it!)

Code:

cd /sourcedir
tar cvfp - . | (cd /targetdir/; tar xvfp -)

-or-

Code:

cd /sourcedir
tar cvfp - . | ssh user@dest (cd /targetdir/; tar xvfp -)
