small brain dump and more

Some collection on various find tasks I experienced from time to time. Find is powerfull tool, often overlooked, but its lifesaver. Enjoy, if you have something more, please, share in comments.

• Find directories not owned by root

  find /var ! -user root -type d –ls

  which lead to resulst like this :
  

• Find directories owned by USERNAME:

  find /var/lib  -user mysql -type d -ls

  

• Find newest files recursively and sort them – very usefull

  find . -type f -printf "%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n" | sort -r | less
