Directory is missing

[Suraj K Sankari]

Hi,

This type of problem is common where too many new users (who is new to unix) are there, Most of the time I found those missing directories are not removed from the system, those directory has been moved from their original location.
So better check with find command, I hope you will find those missing directory here is the command

#cd /
#find / -name missingdirectory â print | more

Best of luck

Hi,
I could not find out those directorys. The directory contains the installable files for MQ application.

So, I took back of those directory from other server and checked in current server. Its working fine.

How do I check who deleted those directorys. Is there any command?

Thank you.

Hi,

If auditing is enable then you can do very easy way other wise you have to go users home directory and grep rm in .sh_history this may help you.
# grep rm .sh_history

Hi,

check also the permissions of the directory in which the lost directory was.
Change permissions, so no user can delete files or sub-directories.
You can also check the Trash-directories of your users.
It's in /.dt/Trash.
Well, with the find command from '/' these directories will be checked too.

Do a 'grep rm /*/.sh_hist*'
so the first '*' is for all users.

If the directory that contains that directory isn't modified that often you can use "ll -d parent-directory" to see the time of last deletion/addition.
