This command tars/gz all the folders contained in a directory. Only applies to top level directory. Very handy when you have to transfer mny folders containing lots of stuff. Can also work with tar only, zip...

If you want to search for all symlinks in current directory AND its subdirectories, make sure you omit the "-maxdepth 1" bit. Also, modify regextype as desired. I DO prefer to AVOID the use of extended regexp whenever possible, because this will usually only give correct results if you use GNU find. Hack a line containing ext-regexp into an HP-UX workstation, and you're in trouble.
0find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -regextype posix-basic -regex '.*what[ev]er?.*' -
0find filename -execdir rm "{}" \;
-
Single file archives nested in subdirectories. After extracting them, you'll have the file (e.g. file.ext) and the archive (e.g. file.ext.nco) side by side. Sometimes you'll only have the archive (if you didn't extract them, or if there was an error during extraction). Only delete the archive if the single file is present in the same directory. Show Sample Output
0find . -type f ! -iname "*.nco" -execdir bash -c ' if [ -f "{}.nco" ]; then rm -v "{}.nco"; fi' \; -
0find . -name '*.js' | xargs du -bc -h | sort -k1,1 -h

When searching for strings in a directory and all sub-directories. -H shows the filename. The find command is great but it has some weird syntax.
0find ./ -type f -exec grep -H <string> {} \; -

If this matches any files on your web server expect to find allot of malware spread throughout your server folders. Seems to target wordpress sites. Be sure to check your themes/theme-name/header.php files manually for various redirect scripting usually in the line right above the close head tag. Good luck! Show Sample Output
