From http://mark.stosberg.com/Tech/tips/freebsd.tips # A FIND AND REPLACE TIP here's a way to find all the files that contain a pattern and then replace it and make backups. # recursively find all the files that contain the word header and list the file names > grep -rl header * # take the resulting list and pass it perl to the find/replace/backup > !! | xargs perl -pi.bak -e 's/header/header-full/' # note that you've now created some backup files you might want to delete! Backup files changed in 120 days, less than 20k in size, not containing "cisco" in their names: find mythings/ \! -regex '.*cisco.*' -type f -ctime -120 -size -20k -exec tar rf mythings040225-120daze-lt20k.tar {} \; Put this to yer /etc/fstab and say 'mount /mnt/flash; ls /mnt/flash; umount /mnt/flash' to see what's in that usb-thingy. This used to work in my good old Debian laptop. (Something like scsi emulation or sth should be in kernel. See google if you will.) /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat noauto,user 0 0
