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?
Don't know
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??
>find / -name "some regular expression"
Il will look for a file name everywhere
You should at least be in the admin group to do this, even better as
root
"man find" for more details
locate is handy as well (man locate)
