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@wa html]# locate abc.pl [root@wa html]# find / -name abc.pl -print find: /proc/21829/fd: No such file or directory /usr/local/abc/abc.pl [root@wa html]# __________________________________ Yahoo!
