find command and multiple * usage
Please can i use:
find /home/username/public_html/_sub/*/wp-content/*cache* -type f -delete command to empty all folders contianing "cache" in wp-content directory. issue is that in /home/username/public_html/_sub/ i have around 50 folders and i want to use this rule on all of them, so im using *. im asking there because im afraid could delete whole /_sub contents or similar horror story i just want to empty folders containing cache in that wp-content directories i cant say it my english is bad is above command safe? |
You could always check it by printing what files are found (and hence what would be deleted):
Code:
find /home/username/public_html/_sub/*/wp-content/*cache* -type f -print |
you can check this one, you can use cp or mv to make sure there is no disaster rather than deletion
find . -type f -name "some*.fil" -exec cp -iv {} /destination/folder \; # or less likely... find . -type f -name "some*.fil" -print0 | xargs -J % cp -iv /destination % got that from this link: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=6029 |
