Hi all:
We all probably know by now that OS-X utilizes a number of hidden folders
and (to my newbie-unix-user view) funky file-path tweaks (where /etc is
also /private/etc and so on).
I am trying to reconstruct my laptop environment, including my php and
mysql web services (which live in hidden folders) from a backup created by
LaCie's SilverKeeper. It copied /private/etc/httpd, so I've got the
httpd.conf file, but I am having problems finding /usr/local/ (where mysql
gets installed). (I have a symbolic link to /etc, which may be how it
finds those files. I didn't have a link for /usr .... could be oops)
So, the questions...
1. does /usr 'really' have some other path that's not obvious?
2. is there a command-line tool (variation on ls?) that will recursively
search the file tree for a particular file name? and does _it_ dig
through places like /private and /usr??
Many thanks for your insights.
