Hi.. I tried to look for a file in a linux box using both locate and find , when using find I can
find my file but locate cannot. However I found sometime locate will work when I look for other
file. what is the difference between locate and find ?
[root at wa html]# locate abc.pl
[root at wa html]# find / -name abc.pl -print
find: /proc/21829/fd: No such file or directory
/usr/local/abc/abc.pl
[root at wa html]#
