Here's a handy tip (although I'm sure this won't be news to many gurus). I recently needed to count how many files I had in a directory and all sub-directories. The following command does it:
find /path/to/your/directory -type f | wc -l Just remember that, of course, it'll only count files in directories you have permission for. So, for example, running find /home -type f | wc -l will only count your files and give error messages when trying to enter other users directories. -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail (KDE 3.1) on LINUX Mandrake 9.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
