Nope. The -f argument says only find "files"

If you want to edit the restore action, AND the backup program is
flexbackup, then edit
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/tape-restore-flexbackup
(remembering thatit will be overwritten if you upgrade the
e-smith-flexbackup RPM).
If you want to use a different program (such as taper) then create
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/tape-restore-taper with the appropriate
contents (use tape-restore-flexbackup as a guide) and then create the
symlink:
cd /etc/e-smith/events/restore-tape
ln -s ../actions/tape-restore-taper S10tape-restore-taper
To find files try this one instead. Firstly, seed the locate database
by running the command:
/etc/cron.daily/slocate
You only need to do this if it's been less than 24 hours since you
installed your e-smith server. This job is run as a daily cron job
locate tape-restore
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/tape-restore-flexbackup
/etc/e-smith/events/restore-tape/S10tape-restore-flexbackup
/etc/e-smith/templates/sbin/e-smith/tape-restore
/etc/e-smith/templates/sbin/e-smith/tape-restore/template-begin
/etc/e-smith/templates/sbin/e-smith/tape-restore/template-end
The clue to where to look was in the fact that I said the event was
called restore-tape. So to find out what that event does, you look in
/etc/e-smith/events/restore-tape.
