| In chapter 1, on page 2 the following command is given: find / -fstype local -mtime -10m and its purpose stated as "find any file that has been modified in the last ten minutes" but man page of find says: -mtime n File’s data was last modified n*24 hours ago. See the comments for -atime to understand how rounding affects the interpretation of file modification times. n is just "hours" not minutes or something else. |
The command should read find / -fstype local -mmin -10 (for hours rather than minutes, use -mtime 10) |
| In chapter 1, on page 2 the following talks about "line 05" "Finally, line 05 prefaces each line of the history file with a timestamp in the format 2009-03-08 10:54:31." but there is no such line in the listing: 01 shopt -s histappend 02 PROMPT_COMMAND='history -n;history -a' 03 HISTSIZE=100000 04 HISTFILESIZE=100000 |
Line 05 is missing. It should read export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S - ' |
