Here are some cool 'find' oneliners:
This command will find all files in /home directory with .doc as extension and was modified 24 hours ago:
#> find /home -name *.doc -mtime 1
This one will find the same files, but not directories, and delete them using -exec option (great for disk usage maintenance, but BACKUP first!):
#> find /home -name *.doc -type f -mtime 1 -exec rm ’{}’ \;
You can also find files owned by a certain UID:
#> find /tmp -user johndoe find /tmp -uid 502
Or by GID:
#> find /home/development -gid 1000
You can also search for files and directories with certain permissions:
#> find . -perm -777
Enjoy!
