View tree in Ubuntu 11.10

[MocroNL]

Hello folks,

I'am using ubuntu 11.10(CLI) and I need to get an overview of the directories in my system.

Example /usr: rights = 775
owner = root

But I need it for every directory/file and doing this one by one will take me ages.

Is there anything I can download from apt-get to simplify this process??

Many thanks.

I ran

sudo -i

cd /

ll -R > text

This took a couple minutes or so to run, and the final 'text' file was 81MB.

Hello folks,

I'am using ubuntu 11.10(CLI) and I need to get an overview of the directories in my system.

tree /usr

Perms and user:

# find `pwd` /usr -perm 755 -type d
# find `pwd` /usr -user root

I believe you mis-typed the 775 and that should be 755 for directories (hence the "-type d")

Combining the two is outside my pay grade.

Thank you for the reply!

@oldos2er
I get too many unnecessary information with that command. The information I need are:

Example
/etc (rights)(owner)(group)

But I need this information from EVERY directory in my linux system.

When I use the tree command I get a strange output. It looks like this:
âââ www
âââ html
âÂ*Â* âââ dist
âÂ*Â* âââ etc
âÂ*Â* âââ images
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ dropline
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ nuovo
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ nuvola_1
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ nuvola_2
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ webset
âÂ*Â* âââ include
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ classes
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ css
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ defines
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ functions
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ redbean
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ js
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ xml
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ language
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ DE
âÂ*Â* âÂ*Â* âââ EN
???

Is it even possible to get an output from ubuntu that gives you a list of ALL directories inside the machine + rights,user and group????


Many thanks.

You could do something like

 sudo find / -type d -exec stat -c '%N %U %a %G' '{}' \;

Have a look at the stat man page and decide exactly which fields you want (%U, %a etc.)

man stat

You will need to do it with sudo to list some dirs

[MocroNL]

Heey.

Now I'am getting close! Thank you steeldriver.

Just need to figure it out how to see output from directories only.

[steeldriver]

The '-type d' should limit the find to directories only

Or do you mean you want to limit it to certain directory levels? if so you can use 'maxdepth'

sudo find / -type d -maxdepth 3 -exec stat -c '%N %U %a %G' '{}' \;

[MocroNL]

Yes true. Did not pay attention.....

Thanks again! And is it possible to put this output into a file?

Greets.

[steeldriver]

yes of course - just use the shell redirect >

 sudo find / -type d -exec stat -c '%N %U %a %G' '{}' \; > whatever.txt

Thank you steeldriver

You have made my day
