[07] WHERE ARE PROGRAMS LOCATED ON THIS SYSTEM?
Standard UNIX utilities can be found in:
/bin
/usr/bin
Programs compiled and installed for use on SDF can be found in:
/usr/pkg/bin
Most games can be found in:
/usr/pkg/games
Programs authored and maintained by SDF MetaARPA members are in:
/sys/sdf/bin
The 'find' utility has been restricted to MetaARPA member use only.
This was due to abuse by users, usually newbies, running find /
which means a search will be conducted over 68 individual disk drives
with most of them being mounted via NFS. The bottom line is that
doing a search like this is highly intensive and takes a significant
amount of CPU time. As an alterative you should use 'locate' to find
programs and utilities located in public paths.
