If the name of the file you are looking for is 'foo' (for example) you could find it by trying this command:
find / -exec grep foo {} \;
There are other ways to check for the location of files in the filesystem which are not in your path environmental variables. The example above is just one way.

Hi,
How do you actually create a unique ID on a distributed system. I looked at gethostid but the man page says that its not guaranteed to be unique. Also using the IP address does not seem to be a feasible solution. Is there a function call or mechanism by which this is possible when even the... (4 Replies)

findrule
FINDRULE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation FINDRULE(1)
NAME
findrule - command line wrapper to File::Find::Rule
USAGE
findrule [path...] [expression]
DESCRIPTION
"findrule" mostly borrows the interface from GNU find(1) to provide a command-line interface onto the File::Find::Rule heirarchy of
modules.
The syntax for expressions is the rule name, preceded by a dash, followed by an optional argument. If the argument is an opening
parenthesis it is taken as a list of arguments, terminated by a closing parenthesis.
Some examples:
find -file -name ( foo bar )
files named "foo" or "bar", below the current directory.
find -file -name foo -bar
files named "foo", that have pubs (for this is what our ficticious "bar" clause specifies), below the current directory.
find -file -name ( -bar )
files named "-bar", below the current directory. In this case if we'd have omitted the parenthesis it would have parsed as a call to name
with no arguments, followed by a call to -bar.
Supported switches
I'm very slack. Please consult the File::Find::Rule manpage for now, and prepend - to the commands that you want.
Extra bonus switches
findrule automatically loads all of your installed File::Find::Rule::* extension modules, so check the documentation to see what those
would be.
