i'm making bash script , it's this:
#!/bin/bash dnum=$(ls -lar / 2> /dev/null | grep '^d' | wc -l) echo there $dnum directories. the problem is, when run line directly on terminal:
ls -lar / 2> /dev/null | grep '^d' | wc -l i number.
but when run script displays me greater number, 30 50 more.
what problem here?
why "wc" command counting more lines when running script?
you may have different directory roots 2 runs. instead of ls find directories can use this
find parent_directory -type d and pipe wc -l count.
the /proc directory have processes , treated directories , change run run. exclude count use
find / -path /proc -prune -o -type d | wc -l
