Ubuntu :: Can't Find It With The Different Command?
Apr 14, 2010
Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome Something is acting as though there is a link in my /home/user file structure which is adding almost 40 gig to my backup! I can't find it with the diff command, as it says everything is common....meaning, I think, everything matches up. Yet my system monitor sees my primary drive as being 85% full and my backup (the same size drive) being 99+% filled!
Is there a linux command that would search through my file structure and list all the locations of any links? And is a "link" the only thing that would create a situation like this? P.S. That I know of, I didn't create any links. Whatever it was, seems to have started yesterday.

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.

The find command does not seem to find all files in my directory hierarchy. My home directory is automounted from a server. The command to illustrate this is:find | sed -e 's/^.///' | sed -e 's//.*//' | sort -uThe result misses several directories. Likewise, a find of a particular file, like:find . -iname *sample* -printwhere sample_file.txt resides in one of the directories that is missing in the first find command, finds nothing

I want to scan a particular directory recursively and run a particular command with each file as input. For this I am using "find /dir/path". I dont want to write any long script containing loop on the output of "find". I want a single command which will allow me to run a command on each file of the "find" command output.

I'm struggling with the Vim find/replace command using wildcards.
I have several, big html files with lots of instances of: <p stuffiwanttoremove>
I've been trying the Vim command: %s/<p *>/<p>/ge
but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I realise there may be alternatives to this (eg a bash script)

The find command is taking too long on my machine to complete. When I use time command, I find that sys time and user time are too small as compared to real time. Is my find process not getting scheduled properly?
I interrupted the neverending find command and got the following statistics:
Real time : 5min
Sys time : 1.1 sec
User time : 3 sec
I was running
find / -name ls 2>/dev/null

command line, I have a server for work that I ssh into and I need to be able to find multiple files (they have the leading text just the date identifier changes) and then zip the files (with bzip) them and then finally scp(Secure copy) them to another server.
These files are always in the same directory and this is a daily task and just want to make into a script that I run once I am logged into the remote server.

I'm trying to find a command or application that will tell me what drivers my wifi card is using.
I've been googling for a while now and all I get in return for any query I try are articles about folks having wifi troubles.
The Ubuntu install works fine but my Windows install seems incapable of connecting. I've recently realised that I think it all started when I installed 10.04. I think 10.04 might have rewritten the firmware on the wifi module and now Windows can't connect. I'm not sure if this is possible but it is the only solution I can come up with considering that I've now tried 2 different version of Windows and they both have the same problem.
Anyway anyone know of a command or app I can use to discover which driver my card is using at the moment so that I can begin my investigations.

So, I plugged in two hard drives to my server. I started with two, an IDE and an SATA. Then I plugged in another SATA and an external SATA using a PCI controller card.
I currently only have command prompt (Putty) access. How can I set the drives up to be usable. They were on another server that died.

I've got a script where I have to parse out the last modified time for a large amount of files. Piping the output for "ls" into "cut" seems to work most of the time, but the output is unpredictable.The "fields" argument doesn't find the date modified columns consistently, and using character count is as well since the output can vary in width depending on the file name
