Fuchs) Organization: Logic Lab, CIS Dept., Syracuse University Lines: 13 how would one search for a filename in a directory hierarchy? supose i know there exists a file call gugu but i cannot remmember in which sub-directory? i was thinking of using : find . -name 'gugu' -print but obviously that only works for the current directory how would one make that a recursive search, something a la ls -R still in search of gugu gill
