Thanks John, Chris. > find command is active search for files under some directory tree. locate is a front end to a database that's generated through slocate utility under cron job, see /etc/cron.daily/slocate Having file names in the database has the access speed advantage since most files don't change in average system.
slocate depends on it's configuration (/etc/updatedb.conf) and cronjob, you are not going to have all the files in it or up to date. You can run it manually of course to update the DB but that takes some time too. More can be found in man slocate Enjoy, -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
