find supports wildcard matches, just add a `*`:

    find / -type d -name &quot;ora10*&quot;

I have this definition:

    {
        &quot;repositories&quot;: [
            {
                &quot;type&quot;: &quot;package&quot;,

                    &quot;name&quot;: &quot;symfony/sfGuardPlugin&quot;,
                    &quot;version&quot;: &quot;4.0.2&quot;,
                    &quot;dist&quot;: {
                        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;http://plugins.symfony-project.org/get/sfGuardPlugin/sfGuardPlugin-4.0.2.tgz&quot;,
                        &quot;type&quot;: &quot;tar&quot;
                    }
                }
            }
        ],
        &quot;require&quot;: {
            &quot;symfony/sfGuardPlugin&quot;: &quot;4.0.*&quot;
        }
    }

Android 4.1 offers the user a check box to disable notifications for a specific application.

However, as a developer we have no way to know whether a call to notify was effective or not.

I really need to check if the notifications are disabled for the current application but I can&#39;t find any setting for that in the API.

Is there ever a way to check this setting in the code?

I am using the following command to find a directory name.

     find / -type d -name &quot;ora10&quot;

My problem is, I am not sure what the exact directory name is, so I would like to find directories similar to `&quot;ora10g&quot;`, `&quot;ora10client&quot;`, etc.

How can I do this with find?

According to wikipedia, 

&gt; Shared locks are sometimes called &quot;read locks&quot; and exclusive locks are sometimes called &quot;write locks&quot;.

Can you explain the reasoning behind the terms &quot;shared&quot; and &quot;exclusive&quot;?

What&#39;s the difference between an exclusive lock and a shared lock?

1. I am using **AWK** script to process some logs.
2. At one place I need to check if the variable value is **null** or **empty** to make some decision.

Any Idea how to achieve the same? 

    awk &#39;
    
    {
        {
           split($i, keyVal, &quot;@&quot;)
           key=keyVal[1];
           val=keyVal[2];
           if(val ~ /^ *$/)
           val=&quot;Y&quot;;
    
        }
    
    }
    
    &#39; File

I have tried with 

    1) if(val == &quot;&quot;)

    2) if(val ~ /^ *$/)

not working in both cases.

I want to sort a tab limited file in descending order according to the 5th field of the records.

I tried 

    sort -r -k5n filename

But it didn&#39;t work.


unix sort descending order

    top -c

Top lists all the processes, there are good options to filter the processes by username by using the option -u &lt;username&gt; but I am wondering if there is any easy way to filter the processes based on processname listed under COMMAND column of the top output.

For Example I would want like top -some option -substring of processname and top displays pids only having this substring in its command name

I am looking to create a program that finds all files of a certain type on my desktop and places them into specific folders, for example, I would have all files with .txt into the Text folder.

Any ideas what the best way would be to accomplish this? Thanks.

I have tried this:

    string startPath = @&quot;%userprofile%/Desktop&quot;;
    string[] oDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(startPath, &quot;&quot;);
    Console.WriteLine(oDirectories.Length.ToString());

    foreach (string oCurrent in oDirectories)
        Console.WriteLine(oCurrent);

    Console.ReadLine();

It was not successful in finding all of the files.

Find all files in a folder

I have installed elasticsearch with `brew install elasticsearch`. My plugins seem to reside in `/usr/local/Cellar/elasticsearch/0.19.8/plugins`. With `cat $( which plugin )` I see a `ES_HOME` variable that contains the correct path.

**Is there a way to ask elastic for `ES_HOME` or the plugins directory?**

----

### EDIT

What I am looking for is the directory used by the **plugin** executable to install the plugins when I do `plugin -install something`. I want to use that path in a script to fire up elastic search.

How do I find where ElasticSearch is installing my plugins?

I want to list every file and directory contained in a directory and subdirectories of that directory. If I chose C:\ as the directory, the program would get every name of every file and folder on the hard drive that it had access to.

A list might look like

&lt;pre&gt;
fd\1.txt
fd\2.txt
fd\a\
fd\b\
fd\a\1.txt
fd\a\2.txt
fd\a\a\
fd\a\b\
fd\b\1.txt
fd\b\2.txt
fd\b\a
fd\b\b
fd\a\a\1.txt
fd\a\a\a\
fd\a\b\1.txt
fd\a\b\a
fd\b\a\1.txt
fd\b\a\a\
fd\b\b\1.txt
fd\b\b\a
&lt;/pre&gt;

List all files and directories in a directory + subdirectories

I&#39;m trying to delete a non-empty directory in Ruby and no matter which way I go about it it refuses to work.
I have tried using FileUtils, system calls, recursively going into the given directory and deleting everything, but always seem to end up with (temporary?) files such as

&gt;.__afsECFC  
&gt;.__afs73B9

Anyone know why this is happening and how I can go around it?
