finger find / -mtime -2 -print Recursively grep for a pattern down a directory tree: find /book -print | xargs grep '[Nn]utshell' If the files kt1 and kt2 exist in the current directory, their names can be printed with the com- mand: $ find . -name 'kt[0-9]' ./kt1 ./kt2 Linux Commands Since the command prints these names with an initial ./ path, you need to specify the ./ when using the -path option: $ find . -path './kt[0-9]' ./kt1 ./kt2 The -regex option uses a complete pathname, like -path, but treats the following argument as a regular expression rather than a glob pattern (although in this case the result is the same): $ find . -regex './kt[0-9]' ./kt1 ./kt2 finger finger [options] users Description Display data about one or more users, including information listed in the files .plan and .project in each user's home directory. You can specify each user either as a login name (exact match) or as a first or last name (display information on all matching names). Networked environments recognize arguments of the form user@host and @host. Options -l Force long format (default): everything included by the -s option and home directory, home phone, login shell, mail status, .plan, .project, and .forward. -m Suppress matching of users' "real" names. -p Omit .plan and .project files from display.
