Help for a newbie?
 

Hello there.

I got a few probably easy questions, though I can't seem to make it work ;p

in ubuntu, how do I create a file in, lets say "/tmp/scripts", that contains a list of all filenames in the directory /bin that end wih s or t?

also how do I change permisson of a file to, lets say, r-xrwx---?

I'm fairly new to Linux and just looking around for basic knowledge that could proove usefull.

Thanks for the advice :)

Glad to be of help.
If you think that your problem has been solved, please mark the thread as read (in the thread tools)

Also, is there any command to see which filesystems are installed?

If you just want to know, which filesystems are currently mounted, use the 'mount' command.

allright, but lets say I want create an alias that will display the last 5 mounted filesystems, any advice?


just trying to make things tricky for myself to learn some ;P

I think 'mount' lists them from 1st to last
Just do

Thanks for the help, lads
