Searching for files 1

[stressball]

This is easy i'm sure but I'm new to Linux, have just installed Redhat 6.2, Oracle 8.1.6, and am now installing Oracle 9iAS, i need to access and modify a file called listener.ora, how do I find it? Its supposedly in the "origin database" i've looked in my oracle home directory but can't find it. What is the syntax to seach for a file in all directorys?

first update the datebase on the server.

run updatedb
then run
locate filename

to find your file.

The command for linux is "find / -name [filename] -print" . If you are trying to use wildcards, place the filename in quotes such as "file*". Also, if there is a path to the file, type "which [filename]" and it will display where the file resides. One more thing, if you are in the correct directory, type "ls [fil}" then TAB. This will display all of the files that start with fil in that diectory.
