Assistance with my Find command to identify last part of a file name and report the name found

Hello Forum,

We have two bootstraps of Chef in our environment which are identified by colour:

Code:
/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/bootstrap_cookbooks_version_green

and
Code:
/var/chef/cache/cookbooks/bootstrap_cookbooks_version_red

I'm attempting to identify which version is installed based on the name of the file. So far I've been able to use the following find command to help me identify the full name:

Code:
find /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/ -name "bootstrap*" -print

I think I need to redirect the result using 2>/dev/null and then pipe to use grep and identify if the filename has red or green in the name or the name isn't found.

I'd like to be able to make the report a little cleaner by reporting back if the filename had either "red" or "green" or couldn't find the file.

One more requirement is that I would like to have this command in a one liner if possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide me.

irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
