Re: How Do I Find A File On The HD?

Jin,

find works fine when you know the complete name of the
file, but in case you want to look for a file which
has the "host" substring in the name for example, try
find / | grep host

or if you even doesn't know if this substring has
capital letters or not, try
find / | grep -i host

Or, perhaps better:

find / -name '*host*' -print

- you can use a regular expression under -name if it is quoted (to avoid 
having the shell expand it). find is extremely handy; have a look in the 
man page. I find the -exec option particularly useful.
