problem with relative pathing

Hi all,

My directory structure is as follows
home /md/DEV/SCRIPTS/DAILY and home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING

so this command
find home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING -name MIS_Customer_\*
is giving me the desired output
/home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING/MIS_Customer_20080114.txt.
since i dont want to hardcode the path ie)home/md/DEV i opt for relative path like
find ../../MIS/LANDING -name MIS_Customer_\*.(since my scripts are in SCRIPTS/DAILY).because of this, am getting output
as
../../CIS/LANDING/MIS_Customer_20080114.txt which is undesirable.instead i want it like /home/md/DEV/MIS/LANDING/MIS_Customer_20080114.txt...pease help me to do this.or let me know if there is anyother workaround

regards,
rajarp

NAME
ip-addrlabel - protocol address label management SYNOPSIS
ip addrlabel { COMMAND | help } ip addrlabel { add | del } prefix PREFIX [ dev DEV ] [ label NUMBER ] ip addrlabel { list | flush } DESCRIPTION
IPv6 address labels are used for address selection; they are described in RFC 3484. Precedence is managed by userspace, and only the label itself is stored in the kernel. ip addrlabel add - add an address label add an address label entry to the kernel. prefix PREFIX dev DEV the outgoing interface. label NUMBER the label for the prefix. 0xffffffff is reserved. ip addrlabel del - delete an address label delete an address label entry from the kernel. Arguments: coincide with the arguments of ip addrlabel add but the label is not required. ip addrlabel list - list address labels list the current address label entries in the kernel. ip addrlabel flush - flush address labels flush all address labels in the kernel. This does not restore any default settings. SEE ALSO
