    Search for a script/folder in everyone's cpanel accounts

    Hi - is there a way you can search for a particular file or folder in everyone's cpanel accounts on the server? Like if there was a file called "hello.php", can I find everyone who has this file?

    Use the find utility.

    From a command line, execute:

    find /home -name 'hello.php'

    It may be faster to run:

    updatedb

    This command builds/updates the database records of all files/directories etc. and you can then use the following to command to search the entire server much faster:

    locate file.php
    or
    locate file.*

    etc.

    This is usually more useful if you run updatedb quite often, but is still a good method if you're doing a few large-scale searches.

    Using the find utility you can have many option for searching the specific file on the server by its size, permissions and even more.
