Linux find files

Question

What could be a command to find all files owned by "abc" user, I guess that can be extended to finding all files with group 'def'.

e.g.

if I got result (ls -l) such as one shown below

-rwxrw-r--   1 apache web      1981 2009-01-22 08:10 unsubscribe.php

then I would like to find all files owned by apache or group web

Thanks!

Answer 1

The find command has options for both. See the find(1) man page for more details.

Answer 2

find /home/ -user <username> -group <groupname>

and lots of other search criteria.

Answer 3

Use the find program

find path -group group_name

Answer 4

You want find(1) there. It has a whole language on the command line to let you specify what to list based on, including uid, username, gid, and group by name.

Answer 5

The direct answer to your questions:

find /path -type f  \( -user apache -o group web \) -exec ls -l {}; \

The find manpage is very much less than enlightening. IMO.
