Used Options
Can some one show me a shell
script to remove all the files in a folder, which older than 3 days as
compared to today's date.
$ find /path/to/folder -mtime +3
-exec rm -f {} \;
When using the ls -l command,
how to pause the listing so that I can see everything in a directory.
Also, how to find out the version
of Linux I'm using? When I type uname -a I am informed that I am using
Linux but not what kind.
use the more command
ls -l | more
Sometimes the file /etc/issue has
OS details if present.
cat /etc/issue
Personally I prefer "ls -l | less"
as I can then scroll the output both up and down one line at a time if
I want to.
