need some help with unix commands
I need help with commands that will do the following for me under UNIX
the command that will list all two character
files in the /usr/bin directory.
the command that will list the files in the /usr/bin directory
that begin with x or z.
the command that will save the result of the who command
to the file whoison.
Thanks for any help
P.S I tried fooling around with the grep command for the first two but it confused me, and I don't know if that's even the most efficient command to use for such tasks I need done, and as far as the last one I have no direction.
ls -al | grep -o ??the command that will list all two character
files in the /usr/bin directory.
Not the best solution, but it works.
ls -al ?? works too.
the command that will list the files in the /usr/bin directory
that begin with x or z.
ls -al x* , z*
Not the best solution, but it works.
who > whoisonthe command that will save the result of the who command
to the file whoison.

Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
No, but now we're apparently a homework support forum.Originally Posted by terminal86
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
This time,i just wanted to be helpful. In general i request to ask the question to another board or google.

well thanks for being helpful, ill just take those types of questions respectably to another forum from now on
You don't even have to take it to a forum, I'm sure a bit of googling will turn up several sites that list Linux command line stuff.
Plus you can always try things like 'ls --help' or 'man ls'. Almost all commands have man pages or quick help.
