That command is pretty useless when typed at the console. I'm hoping
it'll work better here. :)
I'm trying to find all the executables in my PATH. I've tried:
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +1 -type f
which *should* find all the files with the execuatble bit set. Or so I
thought, since 1 is the octal of --x. It doesn't quite work tho. As
shown in the reults below, the numbe of executable files is different
depending on the code I use:
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +7 -type f | wc -l
2135
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +5 -type f | wc -l
2135
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +3 -type f | wc -l
2133
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +1 -type f | wc -l
2133
My
PATH=/home/tom/adabas/bin:/home/tom/adabas/pgm:/home/tom/adabas/bin:/home/tom/adabas/pgm:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/tom/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
Two files missing from +3 and +1 are:
/usr/sbin/kappfinder
/usr/sbin/makewhatis
ls -l of those 2 files gives me:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/kappfinder /usr/sbin/makewhatis
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31284 Nov 29 2000 /usr/sbin/kappfinder
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 11446 May 13 14:09 /usr/sbin/makewhatis
kappfinder isn't even executable!!! ARGH!
Can anyone here help me out?
