======Linux File Operations======
=====Find Directories Containing Specified File Glob=====
For example, find directories containing Python source files.
<code bash>
find /c/home/db/ -type f -name '*.py' | sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||' | sort | uniq
</code>

  * ''sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||''' eats off the file name of a fully qualified file path, leaving only the path.
  * For each file path ''sed'' finds the filename and replaces it with a null string and the rest of the string/path is returned.

Find all the directories containing *.py files modified in the last 15 minutes.
<code bash>
find /c/home/db/ -mmin -15 -type f -name '*.py' | sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||' | sort | uniq
</code>

Find all the directories containing *.py files modified in the last 7 days.
  * This is helpful finding the recent things that have been worked on.
<code bash>
find /c/home/db/ -mtime -7 -type f -name '*.py' | sed -r 's|/[^/]+$||' | sort | uniq
</code>

List all directories modified in the last 7 days.
<code bash>
find ./ -mtime -7 -type d
</code>

Limit the recursion to only show directories in the current directory.
<code bash>
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -mtime -7 -type d
</code>

<code bash>
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type d -mtime -7 | xargs -I {} ls -dhl {}
</code>

===== Mount CIFS/SMB Share =====
<code bash>
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 //10.0.0.1/documents /mnt/win
