That is not the only way of doing it nor do I say it is the most efficeint only that is works. In linux there many ways to do what you are asking. Just a matter of how creative you want to get and how much knowledge you have.
By the way everything you ask can be done by simple piping and redirection except, - find the percentage of files in '/home' that contain 'j'. Probaly can be done in one command at the shell with some creative redirection and using the right command, but a small script should do it easy too.
Yeah sorry I just realized that it is most likely homework. All being about find this that and the other thing. I never took any unix class so I never thought about it. I'll be more carefull next time http://images.linuxquestions.org/que...cons/icon7.gif
Greg - politeness costs nothing. Lack of same will lead to you not being able to post to this board. Read the Rules again - there are specialist boards that will do your homework for you, this is not one of them.
