Hi, i was wondering if there was a way to seach for files via ssh, because i want to be a able to seach for specific file types like .mp3 which are against my companys tos.


Or if there is a addon script for cpanel which will automaticly do this upon an upload.


Thanks people

Ben

find / -name "*\.mp3"

this will look for files with .mp3 in them. you can also check out the slocate package, which can do the same thing but a whole lot quicker, especially if you want to run this bad boy on cron!

cheers

thanks so much, i have seen that befor, but last time i tried it did not work, maybe it was incorrect.

Now it does, thanks soo much

BEN

You actually want to do find /*directorytosearch* -iname *.mp3 which has searches for different cases

For RHEL servers:

First run:
# updatedb

Then:
# locate filename_or_folder
