Find command takes too long to complete
Hi,

Below is my find command

Code:
find /opt/app/websphere -name myfolder -perm -600 | wc -l

At time it even takes 20 mins to complete.

my OS is : SunOS mypc 5.10 Generic_150400-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5440

Hi,

I'm assuming that as it completes it returns a number - what is it?

Regards

Dave

Yes, its check if the folder meets the permission provide or not. All i need is to check the folder permission, so can we tweak my query to give quicker results as the current one takes a long long time.

If you know where the directory is to the point that its permissions are important, why are you running a "find" command?

And if the directory permissions keep changing, you need to fix what's changing the permissions and not paper over the problem with a hack.

There is likely no way to significantly speed this up.
For analysis and perhaps a little improvement, please give the following information:
Code:
df /opt/app/websphere
zonename
/usr/sbin/prtconf | head
grep autoup /etc/system

Several sets of output from
Code:
iostat -sndxz 2

while the find is running would be good, too.
