find command in bash script resulting in No such file or directory error only for directories?
You don't need to escape DOT in shell glob as this is not regex. So use .AppleDouble
instead of \.AppleDouble
:
find $DIRTY_DIR -name .AppleDouble -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
PS: I don't see anywhere $COUNTER
being incremented in your script.
find' command giving : No such file or directory error in shell script
echo $("find $PATH -type f -size +1M")
This attempts to run a command called: find $PATH -type f -size +1M
(with the $PATH
expanded). As there is no such command you get the error.
Your quotes should be outside the $(...)
echo "$(find $PATH -type f -size +1M)"
Better still, drop the echo
as it is not required:
find $PATH -type f -size +1M
As @alexcs notes, you shouldn't use PATH
as a variable name because it is already used by the system (in fact you shouldn't use any all-caps variable name) and you should quote its use as the user may have provided something containing whitespace:
read -p "Enter the path for log files: " LogPath
# ...
find "$LogPath" -type f -size +1M
Consider:
echo $("echo '1..4..7'; echo 'a b c'")
"echo '1..4..7'; echo 'a b c'"
echo $(echo '1..4..7'; echo 'a b c')
echo "$(echo '1..4..7'; echo 'a b c')"
echo '1..4..7'; echo 'a b c'
Bash find- is showing the files but returning no such file or directory
The -exec foo
part means run the command foo
for each path found.
In your case, -exec PATH={}
, the {}
part is replaced with the path name, ending up with something like -exec PATH=/media/pi/88DC-E668/MP3/Dance.mp3
, and so then find
tries to run the command PATH=/media/pi/88DC-E668/MP3/Dance.mp3
which fails because there isn't actually any such program to execute.
xargs
is the usual way to do what you're trying to do, as described in another comment already.
You could also do:
find /media/pi/88DC-E668/MP3/ -name \*.mp3 |
while read f; do
omxplayer "$f"
done
No such file or directory when using find with -exec option
Find is trying to enter the directory after it has been deleted. If you add the -depth
option to your command line, find
will run in depth-first mode in which it will attempt to process the contents of the directory before deleting it:
find /home/pi/testing -depth -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;
That said, your find
command line isn't very useful: for this operation, you would generally just run rm -rf /home/pi/testing
.
No such file or directory but it exists
This error can mean that ./arm-mingw32ce-g++
doesn't exist (but it does), or that it exists and is a dynamically linked executable recognized by the kernel but whose dynamic loader is not available. You can see what dynamic loader is required by running ldd /arm-mingw32ce-g++
; anything marked not found
is the dynamic loader or a library that you need to install.
If you're trying to run a 32-bit binary on an amd64 installation:
- Up to Ubuntu 11.04, install the package
ia32-libs
. - On Ubuntu 11.10, install
ia32-libs-multiarch
. - Starting with 12.04, install
ia32-libs-multiarch
, or select a reasonable set of:i386
packages in addition to the:amd64
packages.
find exec ls : No such file or directory
The arguments of -exec
should not be quoted. Remove the quotes after -exec
. And -exec
does not detect aliases so you need to pass the --color
option to exec.
