[SOLVED] How to find root files and dirs in some dir?

Mr. Alex · 10-31-2010, 05:01 AM

For example I have "/some/dir" which contains user's files and directories. I want to check if there are any files or directories of root. I guess I should use "find" command but what's the full command to find it out?

So you would use `find /some/dir -user root`.

If you're don't have too many levels to check, 'ls -l' will do for a human. Use 'find' if you want to process the output.
