Hi
My ls command not works properly
Are there many files problem?
[host]# ls -al |wc -l
55264
[host]# ls -al *.db |more
-bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
[host]# ls -al *
-bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
[host]# ls -al *.*
-bash: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
check out the man page for 'xargs' and then try
find . -print|xargs ls -al | less
takes a little getting used to but thereafter 'xargs' is one of your
best mates
and do you really want to be root to do all this?
