Locate duplicate files under Ubuntu (And some ranting)
Edit: Post updated due to obvious user error
Looking for a program to find dublicate files? Then fdupe saves the day!
root@bais:/home/samba/raid0# apt-cache search fdupe
fdupes – identifies duplicate files within given directories
By the way, how come the apt search gives to random results?
torhenning@bais:~$ sudo apt-cache search duplicate
….
mirror – keeps FTP archives up-to-date
vlc – multimedia player and streamer
(and a lot of other irrelevant crap)
Can`t exactly say that having to grep in a search results is a good “feature”..
Locate hidden files on a given path
I have created a simple java command line tool that prints out all hidden files/folders in a given directory. If you need it, you can find it here: http://h3x.no/apps/hiddenFinder/hiddenFinder_v1.zip
