Unix tips and tricks
From SoftwarePractice.org
Unix is, as we all know, "quite powerful." But for things that you don't do that often, you forget how to do. Here's a few of them that I've come up with, written here so I can find them again without having to read man pages all over again.
- Display a directory listing with permissions shown in octal. This was my response to a query on the TextDrive forum.
stat -f "%Sp %Lp %N" *
- Display all .jpg files larger than 300kbytes (approx)
find . -size +300000c -name *.jpg
[edit]
FreeBSD-specific stuff
- To set the timezone to GMT:
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT /etc/localtime
