find and proc error
 

several times when searching system using "find" i get an error dealing with "/proc" directory. whats this about?
specifically it says "/proc/2932" doesn't exist. and has happened in 2 different os

Can you please specify clearly what all the commands you have executed using find and what error you got.

Things come and go in /proc - it's a pseudo filesystem after all.
Be more specific in your path specification, or use a more applicable tool; maybe "locate".

The /proc dir doesn't really exist; it's actually a window into the kernel.

Problem: you get errors searching through /proc.

Solution to problem: Don't search through /proc.
