Answer» 1. OS:
LINUX 2.4.20-6
2. cd to /home/username
3. issue COMMAND:
find . -type f | xargs -n1 ls -al | awk ' NF==9 { print $3 } ' | sort -u
4. Get the results back with this error:
xargs: unmatched single quote
username
Note: username = a valid user id.
This should return the other user ids in that directory.
Can anyone assist?
Is this becouse there is a funky file name within the directory/sub directories that xargs does not like?
Thank you,
Mike
Found this to work:
find ./ -maxdepth 0 -type f | xargs ls -al | awk ' NF==9 { print $3 } ' | sort -u
it will produce the owner of the files and sort on the id.
I found this at: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
Under "File seaching" section.
Still though if anyone has a answer regarding the original error and how to PREVENT it.
I MUST have some subdirectoy that contains a file with charactors that xarg does not like.
Thanks,
Mike
