find all files and folders which have specific owner/group with grep
In home/oracle I have many files and folders.
I need 2 different codes to:
- find (show) all files and folders belongs to user "Jim" from group "app"
- Change user owner of all files and folders from (Jim) to Harry.
Is it possible to do it with grep?
Solution 1:
Read man find xargs chown and do something like (Untested)
find /home/oracle \( -user Jim -a -group app \) -print0 | \
xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty \
echo sudo chown Harry
Remove the echo after testing.
You can't do it with grep. grep searches the content of files, you want to check and modify the files' metadata.
