Find Command Need Help
 

Hello all,

I need some help with the find command.

I'm trying to find a name of a hosted web site on my Centos box.

Something like xyz.com.

I would like to search all files from the root down to see if 'xyz' is some here there and to display the results.

I tried this 'find / -name xyz -print but it didn't work, no results displayed.

I know for sure that xyz is there imbeded in some file.

Thanks.

Try:

find / -iname "*xyz*" | less

Or maybe

grep -i virtualhost `find /etc/ -name httpd.conf`

ls -R / |grep xyz

Note that the -name option in find works on whole words only (or with a wild card)
grep, however, matches the specified fragment

Just a thought...

Hosted WEB site is probably virtual host described in httpd.conf.

Thank you all, very helpful...
