 |
|
Hello,
Is there an option by which the command "find" doesn't display the lines "permission denied" for directories a normal user doesn't have access rights to. On a stand alone computer this ain't that frustrating, but when trying to find something on our university server with a lot of student accounts,... .
Kind regards,
A belgian Gentoo user |

I can't get at my system to check right now, but I believe those messages are directed to stderr, and that you could use something like this:
| Code: | | find / -name whatever 2>/dev/null |
to get rid of the errors while keeping the normal find output. |

man find.
