find file owner not = oracle

[Donald Thaler]

i would like to search thru the oracle_home directory looking for files or sub-directories that don't have 'oracle' as the owner .

Hi Donald:

# find /path ! -user oracle -exec ls -ld {} +

...list them.

Regards!

"don't have oracle as the owner"

here is the one-liner for you:

# find /path_to_oracle_home ! -exec ls -ld {} \+ | awk '{if ( $3 != "oracle" ) print $0}'

>Viktor: # find /path_to_oracle_home ! -exec ls -ld {} + | awk

It is better to use JRF's find solution than to make the pipe sweat by passing in ALL of the Oracle files.

oh, I just recognized the exclamation mark as a negation, I thought it is there just to note that the 'path' should be altered.
sorry, my mistake, I didn't know that find accepts exclamation to negate.
