Find command

[Christian Briddon]

Hi All,

I know this probably sounds like a stupid question but it's been driving me mad all afternoon.
How can I run a find in HPUX11 that searches for just link files, but also shows where they point to. I can find the files OK but I just want to print out where they go.

Thanks in advance,

Christian Briddon

Hi Christian,

How about:

find dir -type l | xargs ll

Rgds, Robin.

try this

find / -type l | xargs ls -l

Hi Christian,

find . -type l | xargs ls -l

Hi,

for i in `ls -R | awk '{ print $1}'
do
grep -q l $i
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]
then
find / -name $i -print
fi
done

Hi,

Here your command :
# find / -type l ?? more

or

# find / -type l ?? tee searchFiles.log
