Unix titbits

find . -newermt '30 seconds ago' -print find ('.' = files in current dir and subfolders thereof) -newermt (an option, see man page) (files changed within) '30 seconds ago' -print (don't forget to print the results to std output) :D find . \! -name ".DS_Store" -type f -print find only plain/standard files (-type f) NOT called .DS_Store (\! -name ".DS_Store")(NB escaped !)

Mac OS X - Unix

When MacOS became Mac OS X I was initially skeptical, thought it was slow and not all that... How wrong I was. Amongst a multitude of other things, one of the great aspects of this OS is it's Unix underpinnings. If it hadn't been I'd have probably never dabbled with Unix and the power that comes with the CLI. Nice :)
