I recently found myself in possession of a large file (a few million lines in length) of short strings and would like to count the number of lines that are unique to the file. I thought this would be an easy process, but while working on the problem, I encountered the following. Can anyone explain this weird result to me?
Code:

1

I have tried using xargs but I can't seem to get it to work right.

i'd like to know the total filesize of all files found with the find command, so
Code:

but this gives me the filesize of each file, since each line is passed to "du".
how can I pass the whole list through the pipe?

I have been able to use find -type d to list directories and subdirs but I want a numerical value of dirs and subdirs. I know ls -l gives a count but when I try ls -l -d all it shows is "." I also have tried a combination with the -R option but nothing seems to be working for me.Please forgive my ignorance but I am working on a script for class and this is the first step.

And I'm trying to count the number of slashes in each line. I figured (with my limited knowledge of bash) that the best thing to use would be sed. So I ran this to print "not /": sed '!s////g' file # and eventually adding " | wc -m" to it. and I got the same result as if I ran cat, no modification at all:

I made a fresh ubuntu server installation with two of the same hard disk drives in RAID1 mode.When the installation finished, I had some errors in random times rendering the system unresponsibleCode:end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector <Number>From the above error, it looks like there was a problem with disk sda so I decided to change it with another same disk and rebuild the RAID1.
When I put the new hard disk on it, created a raid partition of the maximum allowed size and tried to add it to the raid array (after having removed the previous disk) I got an error saying that the new partition is not large enough to join this existing RAID1 array!Then an "fdisk -l" command shown something weird...The existing working hard disk in the RAID shows that it has 38913 cylinders but the partition starts at 1 and ends at 38913+1=38914!!How is this possible? When I create a partition myself I am not allowed to put numbers larger than the total number of cylinders!
Code:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes

I'm the POC for all my families Linux computers. Is it possible to get statistics on which programs are accessed, how frequently, for how long and by which user?
When it comes time to upgrade it would be useful so I know which programs to concentrate my testing. I usually just e-mail and ask but every time people forget to send me the programs they actually use.
I am trying to get the count of number of CD-ROMs attached with my Linux system using a bash shell script. I have decided to use the following method for it:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 hdb
So basically I know that there are two CD-ROMs attached to the system. Now there can be three also like this:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 sr1 hdb
All I want to do is in my shell script to get the count of the devices in a variable using the above command.
I have a really deep directory tree on my Linux box. I would like to count all of the files in that path, including all of the subdirectories.
For instance, given this directory tree:
/home/blue
/home/red
/home/dir/green
/home/dir/yellow
/home/otherDir/
If I pass in /home, I would like for it to return 4 files. Or, bonus points if it returns 4 files, 2 directories. Basically, I want the equivalent of right-clicking a folder on Windows and selecting properties and seeing how many files/folders are contained in that folder.
How can I most easily do this? I have a solution involving a Python script I wrote, but why isn't this as easy as running ls | wc or similar?

This has to also show the line count. I can get it to show the files but not the line count.
