xargs not working in Linux as it works in Unix
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
I am using following command to list down permission, owner of mount points in unix:
bdf|awk 'print $6'|grep -v Mounted|xargs ll -d
This command in HP-Ux provides me an output like below:
drwxr--r-- 61 root root 8192 Jan 1 2014 /
drwxr--r-- 102 root root 8192 Jan 1 2014 /home
But in Linux this command :
df -hP|grep -v Mounted|awk 'print $6'|xargs 'll -d'
gives an error:
xargs: ll -d: No such file or directory
xargs

The root of the error is that you have quoted ll -d in the arguments to xargs. xargs is then trying to execute a file called ll -d which it can't find anywhere on your path. If you remove the quotes, the command is likely to work. However, if ll is an alias rather than a command on the PATH, you may also need to use ls directly:
df -hP | grep -v Mounted | awk 'print $6' | xargs ls -ld
If you have mount points that include spaces, your parsing of df would fail to account for that.

no need for grep here since awk is being used anyway. e.g.awk 'NR>1 print $6'orawk '!/Mounted/ print $6'
