random unix notes

This is a reminder for me, that can be useful for other

use of inode number

A solution found
here
is based on the find command and its -exec option, but other
action are built in.
As always, take care of shell specific built in command, and specify
the absolute
path to the
find command.
Few examples:

delete file: find -inum <inonde_number> -delete
rename/move: find -inum <inode_number> -exec mv {} <new_name> ;

regex

A tutorial can be found here .

run-parts behavior

In some distribution, the run-parts exclude all files matching *.sh$ .

My solution is to create a file named glu with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
for i in *sh
do
  sh $i $1
done
