11/7/2015 Comparing files and directories�


Under windows, I've been happy for 10 years or more with Total Commander. Under linux/MacOSX, Total Commander is not available. There is a tolerable alternative built into the OS command line. http://lifehacker.com/compare-the-contents-of-two-folders-with-the-diff-comma-598872057

To compare directories, type
diff -rq /{directory1} /{directory2}

-r recurse
-q quick (print filenames only)

On the Mac OS, there is a convenient way to type in long complicated directories without pain. Open them in a Finder window and click-n-drag the icon to the left of the directory name at the top of the Finder window. When you drag this icon into the terminal window, it will show up as the text version of the directory. Viola, min typing!

diff -rq {drag icon} {drag icon} enter.

Alternate method..

diff -qr dirA dirB | grep -v -e 'DS_Store' -e 'Thumbs' | sort > diffs.txt

4/1/2015 Get distribution of file sizes.

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/55073/how-to-get-the-distribution-of-file-sizes
find /my/directory -type f -exec ls -l {} + | cut -d' ' -f5 | sort -n | uniq -c

not terribly efficient
if there are many many files it may be better to save intermediate results in a temp file, sort it to another temp file, then "uniq" it
here I use numeric sort so the output will be ordered by ascending file size (nice), but any sort will do as long as equal lines are grouped together
pipe the results in awk '{ print $1 "," $2 }' to get a CSV file to be used in your graphing tool of choice (even spreasheet tools will do)

If your find tool is a GNU find, can use printf
find . -type f -printf '%s\n' | sort -n | uniq -c

12/29/14 Mac OSX file directory comparisons

$ diff -rq folder-1 folder-2

12/22/2014

Maybe bad disk surface caused lost clusters? In any case, lots of zero sized files to be found and removed.
$ find {dir} -size 0
$ find {dir} -print -size 0 ! -name "*.xml" (all except a certain name)

Favorite Command Lines

sudo find /. -type f -iname *.pkg
find all the packages on my computer (looking for where updates are downloaded to). This worked.
sudo find /. -type f -cmin 20
find all the files updated within the last 20 minutes. This didn't find the packages.



7/29/2011 FIND RECENTLY CHANGED FILES


find . -type f -cmin -10
List all the files (not directories) that have been changed in the last 10 minutes

chmod -R ugo-x,u+rwX,go+rX {put top directory here}
Recurse through a directory and fix permission bits the way I like them

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
Find all the files recursively and change to permissions 644

find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
Find all the directories recursively and change to permissions 755

xdd {fid}

curl -O "http://www.arpc.afrc.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-120322-001-99.pdf";

9/13/2011 SETTING FILE PERMISSIONS


for users, set read write, set execute if a directory OR if any current execute bit is set
for group and others, set read only, set execute if a directory OR if any current execute bit is set
for group and others, unset write permission
(for shorter syntax with chmod and process substitution, see file "file-permissions-howto.txt")

find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644

Long list all files modified in this or subdirectories less than 310 minutes ago, more than 305 minutes ago.
find . -mmin -310 -mmin +305 -ls

although OS X respects case in file names, two files whose names differ only in case may not coexist on the same file system. If such files exist on the Unix side, Unison will report the error but not identify the offending files. Unix users can identify such files with the aid of a script like this:
find . -print | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -c | awk '$1 > 1' |
tee /tmp/duplicates

6/25/2011


chmod -R u+rwX,go+rX,go-w path

interpreting the arguments:

-R recurse directories
u+rwX for users, set read write, set execute if a directory OR if any current execute bit is set
go+rX for group and others, set read only, set execute if a directory OR if any current execute bit is set
go-w for group and others, unset write permission

Or, you can do it with find statements:

find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644

Or, you can do it with the chmod statement, using process substitution (see the bash man page).

chmod 755 $(find . -type d)

10/21/11 - HOW TO RYSNC MIRRORS LIKE TIME MACHINE


A command line to mirror FreeBSD might look like:

% rsync -vaz --delete ftp4.de.FreeBSD.org::FreeBSD/ /pub/FreeBSD/

The Apache HTTP Server only supports rsync for updating mirrors.

rsync -avz delete safe-links rsync.apache.org::apache-dist /path/to/mirror

The preferred (and simplest) way to mirror the PuTTY website to the current directory is to use rsync.

rsync -auH rsync://rsync.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ftp/users/sgtatham/putty-website-mirror/

A way to mimic the capabilities of Time Machine (Mac OS). http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html. Or, use snapshot :-)

date=`date "+%Y-NaVdT%H:%M:%S"`
rsync -aP --link-dest=$HOME/Backups/current /path/to/important_files $HOME/Backups/back-$date
rm -f $HOME/Backups/current
ln -s back-$date $HOME/Backups/current
