Solved Linux + locating files

---

Hi,

I was going through the linux + course and I am at locating files chapter.At 9:57 the command showed to search a file based on permission is not working in ubuntu.Below is the output that I am getting

deepak:~$ find /usr/bin/ -perm -x
find: invalid mode ‘-x’

@Deepak-Sharma,

I moved this to the Linux category for better organization and searchability.

Hey @Deepak-Sharma

Try adding the "mode" to the command and see if that helps.

So...

find /usr/bin/ -perm -a=x (this gives you files with execute set for all modes <ugo>)

or you can just set the specific mode you want.

For User/Owner mode <u>

find /usr/bin/ -perm -u=x

for Group mode <g>

find /usr/bin/ -perm -g=x

for Other mode <o>

find /usr/bin/ -perm -o=x

Hope that helps

Cheers,
Daniel
