CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

The correct command is find /var/log/app_temp -type f -name "*.tmp" -size +1M -delete. Here is a breakdown of the command:

• find /var/log/app_temp: This specifies the starting directory for the search.
• -type f: This tells find to look only for regular files, not directories or other file types.
• -name "*.tmp": This is the pattern for the filename. The wildcard * matches any sequence of characters, so this finds all files ending in .tmp.
• -size +1M: This filters for files that are larger than 1 Mebibyte.
• -delete: This is an action that tells find to delete the files it has found that match all the preceding criteria. It is generally safer and more efficient than using -exec rm {} \;.

The other options are incorrect. One option omits the -delete action, so it only finds the files but does not remove them. Another option incorrectly uses -type d, which would search for directories instead of files. The grep command is unsuitable for this task as it is designed to search for text within files, not to find files by their attributes like size and name, and the piping to rm is syntactically incorrect for file deletion.
