UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I'm unable to execute the below command completely ; it's not allowing me to type the complete command. It is allowing till "xargs" and i cannot even press enter after that.

I'm using Solaris. Let me know if anything needs to be added so as to execute the complete command. Appreciate your help in this regard.

Many thanks in advance.

Put it in a file and execute it ..

Thanks.

I tried in the same way by putting it in a file and executing (./<<file name>> ), getting the "ls -ltr" output but not the desired one.

#!/bin/csh

No the desired one ..then what is the expected output you need ..

if the results of find is NULL, xargs lists everything where s in the current directory(.)

Jayan - I'm expecting the output with all the files that have the matching patterns given in the find command.

Just customized your find command .. Try and let us know ..

Code:

find $DIR -type f \( -iname "*bak*" -o -iname "*bkup*" -o -iname "*[0-9][0-9]*" -o -iname "*gcm[sc]*" -o -iname "*itnb*" \) -mtime +10 -exec ls -ltr {} \; 2>/dev/null | grep -v snapshot
