What "application" are you talking about? Are you trying to locate where a program is installed on your hard drive? You need to be more specific please. Also, what distribution are you using?

normally in windows we search for installed appliction as appwiz.cpl.Like this how can we search the installed application.?

I don't understand what you are trying to say....

Say, in linux, you are trying to see where the ssh command is installed. I would use the "which" command like so:

Code:

[root@ltp01 ~]# which ssh
/usr/bin/ssh

If it is within your path, it will output where it is located.

You could also use the locate command, and the find command, if you wish.
