  • If I wanted to locate a file example oscam


    in msdos I would type dir oscam /s or even dir /s oscam c:\ (or something to that effect)


    What is the equivileent in linux would it be find -name oscam /usr/bin


    The reason I ask is the oscam is running but is not in this directory and im running Vix 2.4


    'Kill me now!' :(

  • you can do:


    find -name "oscam.co*"


    --


    Also, you can install locate. Locate keeps a database.


    you can update the db with: updatedb


    after that, you can do:


    locate oscam.co*

  • thanks for your help mate, I have sorted out my main issue, but it is still useful to know.

  • Can locate be installed on linux receivers ? I tryed with no succes, on ubuntu i had no problem.

  • No was oscam, I was looking in wrong place even after being told right place, but its a good thing to know anyway.


    I have had filezilla not show files before, but that was because i had ommited the port number
