locate command alternative,,

Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

Ok, Im back with another small problem. I created a script (the one posted in the last thread). After some help from some members here all is good. The problem is I made it on by using Putty with my Ubuntu server here at my home. Everything works fine on it. But when I load the script on the server for my class, it complains that it cannot find the command locate. I realize this means that the server probably doesnt have KSH isntalled??

Is there an alternative way to search for a file that will output the full path of the file? I have tried find but it doesnt show the full path.


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
locate $fname

e.g. locate command not found.


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:



3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):



4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):

CREATE TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7) NAME
CREATE_TEXT_SEARCH_TEMPLATE - define a new text search template SYNOPSIS
CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE name ( [ INIT = init_function , ] LEXIZE = lexize_function ) DESCRIPTION
CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE creates a new text search template. Text search templates define the functions that implement text search dictionaries. A template is not useful by itself, but must be instantiated as a dictionary to be used. The dictionary typically specifies parameters to be given to the template functions. If a schema name is given then the text search template is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema. You must be a superuser to use CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE. This restriction is made because an erroneous text search template definition could confuse or even crash the server. The reason for separating templates from dictionaries is that a template encapsulates the "unsafe" aspects of defining a dictionary. The parameters that can be set when defining a dictionary are safe for unprivileged users to set, and so creating a dictionary need not be a privileged operation. Refer to Chapter 12, Full Text Search, in the documentation for further information. PARAMETERS
name The name of the text search template to be created. The name can be schema-qualified. init_function The name of the init function for the template. lexize_function The name of the lexize function for the template. The function names can be schema-qualified if necessary. Argument types are not given, since the argument list for each type of function is predetermined. The lexize function is required, but the init function is optional. The arguments can appear in any order, not only the one shown above. COMPATIBILITY
There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard. SEE ALSO
