Hi,
I am logged into as root & inside the home directory of another user.
ls -a
[root@mymac user1]# ls -laq
total 44
drwx------ 4 user1 adm 4096 Nov 23 05:10 .
drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4096 Nov 22 13:05 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 adm 18 Nov 22 13:05 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 adm 193 Nov 22 13:05 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 adm 231 Nov 22 13:05 .bashrc
drwxr-xr-x 3 user1 adm 17 Nov 22 13:05 .cache
drwxr-xr-x 3 user1 adm 17 Nov 22 13:05 .config
-rw------- 1 user1 adm 46 Nov 22 13:05 .k5login
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 adm 172 Nov 22 13:05 .kshrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18 Nov 23 05:10 .profile_new
-rw------- 1 user1 adm 8 Nov 23 07:36 .sh_history
Now when i say
ls -a "*profile*"
ls: cannot access *profile*: No such file or directory
ls -a *profile*
ls: cannot access *profile*: No such file or directory
ls -a *profile
ls: cannot access *profile: No such file or directory
ls -a profile
ls: cannot access profile: No such file or directory
I was expecting
to be displayed as an output to my ls command but none of the command yield any output.
