Hi Guruz , I want to ask about the fastest searching command as i am using to search SUID/GUID files in / directory . script given as: ls -l /usr/bin | awk '/^-.....[s]/ { print $3, $9 }' or using 'find' utility as below find /usr/bin -perm +6000 now the question is Which works faster, script without 'find' or with it? and How do you know? thankx. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
