Read-only, can be slow

Find Pages Missing og:title

You need to list generated HTML pages without og:title metadata.

Command

find public -name '*.html' -print | while read -r f; do grep -qi 'property="og:title"' "$f" || echo "$f"; done

Before you run this

System impact: Read-only. Can create load on large logs, directories, filesystems, or process tables.

When not to use it: Do not use it to validate image sizes or preview rendering; it only checks og:title presence.

Expected output

A list of HTML files missing property="og:title".

System impact

Read-only, can be slow. Nothing changes. The command checks each HTML file for og:title metadata.

Scope this to the smallest useful path or service on busy systems.

Recovery / rollback: no state is changed.

When to use it

Use before launch, after changing social preview templates, or when link previews look wrong.

When not to use it

Do not use it to validate image sizes or preview rendering; it only checks og:title presence.

Find HTML Pages Missing from the Sitemap

A page can exist in the build but never make it into the sitemap.

find public -name '*.html' -print | sed 's#^public#https://example.com#' | while read -r url; do grep -q "$url" public/sitemap.xml || echo "$url"; done

Find Feed Links Missing from the Sitemap

Your feed can advertise URLs that the sitemap never lists.

grep -o '<link>https://example.com/[^<]*</link>' public/feed.xml | sed 's#<link>##;s#</link>##' | while read -r url; do grep -q "$url" public/sitemap.xml || echo "$url"; done

Find Logs Missing Logrotate Coverage

The biggest log risk is often the file no policy mentions.

find /var/log -type f -name '*.log' -printf '%p\n' | while read -r log; do grep -Rqs -- "$log" /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d || grep -Rqs -- "$(dirname "$log")/[*].log" /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d || printf '%s\n' "$log"; done

Study mapping

Use this as independent command practice: read the notes, predict the output, then compare it with the example before using a real shell.
