    Complex commands

    Hi guys,

    can you please help me with an issue that i encountered?

    I have to list all files (their full paths) in /tmp/test/ and subdirectories, that contain the left bracket "[" .

    I used find $PWD -name \*[\* but it is not working becuase [ is a special character and I don't now how to escape it.

    I am using Oracle Enterprise 5.

    Thanks!!!

    This should do:
    Code:
    ... -name "*[*"

    Hi guys,

    another one....

    How can I set ownership to "root" group "sys" for directory "/tmp/test" and everything below?

    Thanks,

    That's an easy one, but this really smells like a homework questions thread which are against the rules here...

    Have a look at the man page for the chown command.

    Code:
    man chown
