Finding all directories that are world readable - linux

**I cannot use find as I get a permission denied error
I am trying to find all the directories in /students that are world readable. This is what I have so far:
grep 'r-x' | cut -c8-10 | ls -l /students | sort | uniq -c
I don't understand why this is not working. I am telling the shell to search for occurrences of 'r-x'in the 8th-10th characters of ls -l which is other users permissions (hence world readable). Then I'm sorting the output and displaying a count of matching results with uniq -c. This is my understanding of what my shell script should do and I dont see why its not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
For some reason it's pulling out more than just the directories readable by others.
Here is some sample output (I omitted the majority of the output)

Rather than parsing ls, use find:
find /students -perm -o=r
This would list all files and directories in /students that are world readable.
If you don't want to recurse into subdirectories and want to find only directories, say:
find /students -maxdepth 1 -type d -perm -o=r

I am telling the shell to search for occurrences of 'r-x'in the 8th-10th characters of ls -l which is other users permissions (hence world readable).
No you're not. You're looking for "r-x" anywhere in the line and then taking the 8th through 10th characters of the lines found.
find /students -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -perm -005 | ...
"Why you shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)"

ls -lad */ | grep 'r-x' | sort | uniq -c
-d is used to list ONLY directories.
*/ tells *nix to search ONLY the current directory.

ls -lR |grep "^d" | cut -c8-10 | grep 'r-x' | sort | uniq -c

NodeJS child_process: npm - command not found

In my bundled Electron app, I have it extract a node project to a location. There is a script that is supposed to run npm install and when I run it through spawn, I get an error saying npm isn't found.
The code I'm using is:
const process = spawn('my_script.sh', {shell: 'bin/bash', detached: true});
#!/bin/bash
cd <location of package.json>
npm install
In the process of trying to debug this, I've done the following:
The command is able to be run when I pull up a new command line and running which npm points to /usr/bin.
I checked the PATH variable from the script that is run by spawn (putting echo $PATH) and it returns:
/snap/<app_name>/x1/usr/sbin:
/snap/<app_name>/x1/usr/bin:
/snap/<app_name>/x1/sbin:
/snap/<app_name>/x1/bin:
/usr/local/sbin:
/usr/local/bin:
/usr/sbin:
/usr/bin:
/sbin:
/bin:
/usr/games:
/usr/local/games:
/snap/<app_name>/x1/gnome-platform/usr/bin
which includes /usr/bin
I then printed the contents of /usr/bin from the script (added ls -l /usr/bin) and noticed that npm, node, and yarn were not in it. I then opened a new window and ran the command directly and the list was substantially longer then what was returned by the script
The result of ls -l /usr/bin when ran from the script (missing node, yarn, npm, and countless other files):

So for some reason the contents of /usr/bin is different when accessed from my distros command line v. the spawned script (1745 v. 317 lines printed when adding | wc -l). Why is this the case? I can't think of any reason that would cause this behavior, and the child process docs haven't shed any additional light.

Using ls in Linux to show directories only

I'm getting myself familiar with Linux (Debian 9). However I managed to get myself confused with the ls command manual. I made up the following trivial setting for testing:
meouser:~/triv_dir$ ls -laR
.:

I would like to see all the directory names and their subdirectories, but not the filenames. That is, I want something like ls --insert-options-here so that the output is this subset from above:
.:

According to ls manual that should be achieved by ls -ldR.
meouser:~/triv_dir$ man ls
-a, --all
do not ignore entries starting with .
-d, --directory
list directories themselves, not their contents
-l use a long listing format
-R, --recursive
list subdirectories recursively
But this is what happens instead: only the '.' is shown.
meouser:~/triv_dir$ ls -ldR
drwxr-xr-x 4 meouser meouser 4096 Mar 27 15:42 .
What am I missing from the manual?
I noticed from https://stackoverflow.com/a/29277454/11199684 that this can be achieved by
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -print
which is impressive but it gives less information than the ls output above. Besides, I might not know beforehand the correct maxdepth? And above all, for future needs I'm actually interested in teaching myself from the manuals. Advice are appreciated.
The -d option apply to [FILE] given as input, in your case, as none are given, you fall back to the default one : the current directory. The recursivity doesn't apply as no directory are returned.
To get the same output as ls with the find command, you can combine them :
find . -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;
in some way you could use the grep tool to filter the results:
ll -A | grep ^d
if you want to use it programatically, in a bash script you can have only the dir names (but find might be better for that):
ll -A | grep / | awk '{print $9}'

find command with -atime appears to ignore dates

This command doesn't behave as I would expect. -atime +1 says "anything accessed within the last 24 hours", correct?
Output:
find . -type f -atime +1 -name 'installActions2*.log' | xargs ls -lt

why are the files from March of 2014 and November showing up? So assuming the -atime switch says, "modified earier than the last 24 hours", I changed it to 60, and it lists the current directory, and all its files (ignores the -name switch) and doesn't traverse the subdirectories.

anyone know the reason? Sorry if this not an advanced question.
The -*time args to find consider time as growing larger in the past. So +1 means "more than one day ago", not "after one day ago". Try -1 to mean "less than one day ago".

Unix - ls command shows some "outputted" text as a file

"l:template name="expanded_search">" is some file content that somehow shows as a file. How do I "delete" this "file"?
A way of deleting any file, no matter what characters the filename contains is using it's inode numnber. You can show that using:
ls -i
That will shou you the files with the inode number next to them. Then you can delete that file using:
find -ium [inode_number] -exec rm {} \;
But in this case it should also be enough to just quote the filename:
rm 'l:template name="expanded_search">'
rm l:*
If you're the cautious type:
rm -i l:*
