i need help in this issue how to find files with unusual size and with unusual names of EX : just dots, names ending with space(s),names containing shell wildcard characters, names containing non-ASCII (control) characters
View 3 RepliesTo find the space occupied by files modified more than 4 years ago, i tried following.I am wondering if it is right ?
Code:
find /temp -type d ! -name ".*" -mtime +1460 | wc -l |du -sh
I tried this, but this sits there for long time (of couse the path i tried has lot of files) So i am not sure if this is right.
P.S.:
SHELL=bash
OS=RHEL5
I made an account under freeshell.org and it has been very satisfactory so far. I recommend everyone getting an account under freeshell.org. But anyways, how do I find files over, for example, 500 KB, in the entire, my shell account?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Ubuntu box, I have a mounted windows share connected via gvfs called graphics. I want to backup everything on a nightly basis from graphics to backupserver/graphics . If I use rsync, it will not copy files that have parent directories with funky characters in them (but the directories themselves will be copied!). Everything else gets rysnced just fine.
graphics/test/macdir/picture.psd
...when rsynced over to ...
backupserver/graphics/
gives the error:
rsync: mkstemp "/home/administrator/.gvfs/drobo on x.x.x.x/linux_backups/graphics/test/ macdir/.picture.psd" failed: Operation not supported (95)
The directory macdir gets created but there is nothing in there. This happens for all files underneath dirs with funky names. cp -Rf works perfectly! Directory and child files all get copied over no matter how strange the characters get in the directory names.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
wc `find . ( -name "*.as" -o -name "*.mxml" ) -exec grep -H HeightResizableList {}` ;
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Canoscan LiDE 30 scanner which works fine in Linux. I haven't used it in months, and never since moving from Jaunty x86_64 to Fedora 11 x86_64. This evening I suddenly need to scan two pages to send to someone via e-mail, and the recipient is desperate to receive them. Naturally, Xsane has decided this is the moment to screw me.
The problem: I cannot figure out how to tell Xsane that the page size is 8.5 11. It insists on scanning only the left side, 3.99 x 11. I cannot find a page size anywhere in any of the buttons.
In Preview I once got it to scan the entire page, but could not figure out how to save the image to file. Subsequently I have not been able to figure out how I did it. In any event, scanning from the small main window always scans 3.99 x 11. Adjusting the scan area manually in the Preview window allows me to change the size area in the small main window to 8.5 x 11, but when I then scan from the small main window it reverts to 3.99 x 11.
I have scanned the document a hundred times at least, each time trying different buttons, but nothing has succeeded in getting the full page.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are currently running Redhat 5.4 64Bit (Build 2.6.18-164.e15) however having issues with tar files that are greater than 2TB in size.
We have been told that upgrading the kernel to support the ext4 file system (supported in version 5.5?) and mounting the current 10TB nas share as an ext 4 file system may solve our over 2TB file size issues. Are their limitations within the ext3 file system that cause issues to files greater than 2TB and if this is the case Do we have to update the kernel (complete rebuild), or can we load a package on the redhat box to support the ext 4 file system Where do we get the upgrade/package. I have logged onto the redhat site and can not find kernel updates but can find the full installation packages. We are not connected directly to the internet and do not have access to the update repository

I want to generate a temporary random list from a directory of files and then determine the size of an arbitrary block of files from this list (say 1-25 or 26-50) and add their names to a file along with some other info for each name. I can generate a random list with file sizes like this: ls -l | sort -R | cut -d " " -f 6 but i'm not sure how to add up the sizes of just a certain block of these files and at the same time save the file names.
