find / -user Harry -type f -exec cp {} /opt/dir \;

mkdir /opt/dir; find / -type f -user harry -exec cp -p '{ }' /opt/dir \;

why does it take time to process the command

# cd /opt/ # mkdir dir # find / -user harry -type f -exec cp -rfp {} /opt/dir/ \;

#mkdir /opt/dir #find / -type f -user Harry -exec cp {} -ar /opt/dir \;

#mkdir -p /opt/dir #find / -user harry -exec cp -rfp {} /opt/dir/ \; #ls ltr /opt/dir - to verify if files appeared or not

What is the answer please? Syntax in the example is not working. [root@station /]# find / -user tom -exec cp {} /opt/dir/ \; cp: '/opt/dir/.bash_logout' and '/opt/dir/.bash_logout' are the same file cp: '/opt/dir/.bash_profile' and '/opt/dir/.bash_profile' are the same file cp: '/opt/dir/.bashrc' and '/opt/dir/.bashrc' are the same file cp: '/opt/dir/tom' and '/opt/dir/tom' are the same file cp: -r not specified; omitting directory '/home/tom' find: ‘/proc/8531/task/8531/fd/6’: No such file or directory find: ‘/proc/8531/task/8531/fdinfo/6’: No such file or directory find: ‘/proc/8531/fd/5’: No such file or directory find: ‘/proc/8531/fdinfo/5’: No such file or directory

mkdir -p /opt/dir cp -nr --parents $(find / /home -xdev -user harry) /opt/dir

after copy them to /opt/dir , how can I verify that is really copy to that? please. I run #cat /opt/dir but don't really see what make me sure. thanks

it's very easy # find / -user harry -exec cp {} /opt/dir/ \;

find / -user hayder -type f 2>/dev/null -exec cp '{}' /opt/dir \;

for i in $(find / -user harry -type -f);do cp -rpvf $i /opt/dir;done

find / -user harry -type f -exec cp -rpvf {} /opt/dir \; 2> /dev/null

find / -type f -user harry -exec cp {} /opt/dir \;

find / -user Harry -type f -exec cp -fp {}/opt/dir \; or cp -fp $(find / -user Harry -type f) /opt/dir

find / -user Harry -type f -exec cp -fp /opt/dir \; or cp -fp $(find / -user Harry -type f) /opt/dir

find . -type d -user tester ! -path "./.*" -exec cp -rf {} I am excluding all the hidden files with ! -path "./.*"
