Stupid Simple Trick with "ls"

thanksajdotcom

I have three different shares that mount into three different folders in /media.. To confirm they had mounted correctly, I will list the contents of each subdirectory to make sure I see files. Well, before I did the following:

cd /media
cd goflex_dallas/
ls
cd ..
cd goflex_landcare/
ls
cd ..
cd readyshare_wd4tb/
ls
cd ..

However, I decided to try something new and now I can get all the info I need from one command:

cd /media
ls goflex_* readyshare_wd4tb/

It outputs as the following:

goflex_dallas:
Data Dump               Flash Games  Reformat Prep  Transfers
Data Dump (Maintained)  Gaming       Temp           treeinfo.wc

goflex_landcare:
Data Backup (Maintained)  Misc Keep  StorageCraft Backups  Temp  Universal_Updater.exe

readyshare_wd4tb/:
Data Dump (Maintained)  netgear_downloader  StorageCraft Backups
Extras                  $RECYCLE.BIN        System Volume Information

It's a stupid simple trick but I thought I'd share!

Thanks,
