Searching in Linux
This is my first post in the Tips & Tricks category. It is the intention to regularly post some interesting articles about how to accomplish certain tasks. You can look at them as micro howto’s if you will :).
Anyway, I regularly encounter some problems when configuring our servers or implementing some web application. Maybe some of you encounter the same problems as I sometimes do. If anyone has an interesting tip or article please let me know and I will link to it.
As my knowledge is not anywhere near a “Linux guru” I regularly forgot how to perform searches on Linux systems. Actually it is very easy and I should remember it ;).
To search for a file named ‘myfile.ext’ you simply enter
> find / -name myfile.ext
It will give you a list of all found matches on your file system. The above example searches your whole filesystem tree (from the root). To search in a specific directory only you may enter
> find /home/myuser/docs/ -name mydocument.odf
For a complete list of handy tricks for the ‘find’ command please see http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/Unix/FindCmd.htm
