Is your system always slow when trying to 'find' the name of a file ?
Well, sometimes the most simple of scripts sure make life a lot easier.
These two small scripts were written is self-defense, because the slow speed
of the system I 'was using'.
I believe these scripts can speed-up the 'find' time of any UNIX/Xenix system.
----
fullpath: Script to find the fullpath of all files on system, and
store all those filenames in /usr/local/bin/fullpath.names
findname: Script to locate any filename on system, pipe it through
'more' in case there are many for one screen.
Since I run the crontabs/root entry at 3,6,10,15,18 hours, the system
filenames are always in touch with reality. I have put these scripts
on about 10 systems and the 'administrators' use it all the time.
Just - Keeping it simple, sometimes is the best way.

# Get the full path of all files on system, this script
# was written to work with 'findname' script, to easily
# find the name of any file on system without using
# 'find', and it is so much faster. This script should
# be put in crontabs/root to have it execute several
# times a day.
