I came across a useful linux command that i hadn't seen before. Called
locate. it returns the full path of a file that you enter.
For example:
# locate php.ini
/etc/php.ini
As you can see it produces the full path for that file. Pretty handy.
However there are occasions where it produces too many locations to be
useful!
It can also work using regular expressions. Check out man locate for the
full lowdown.
