No, don't run find on /proc

Well, sometimes I need to run it on /

If you're only using find on file names, then you could use locate instead.
'man updatedb' shows that you can specify which filesystems are logged in the database:
updatedb --prunepaths=/proc
for example.

In any case, man pages are always your friends. It is useful to learn how to get the information from them!

Hope that helps
