Hi,

The blow code did the task for me.Why 'find' command is hanging?Check your permissions for inner directories?


/usr $ find . -name "heap*"
./clone1/heap001.txt
./clone2/heap334.txt
./clone3/heap8899.txt


With Regards

find /usr -name "heap*" -type f

ls -R /usr |grep -i heap

both ways you will get the desired output if you have the right permissions.
