I had a drive fail, and am trying to get rid of any orphaned recordings. Is the script myth.find_orphans.pl somewhere in LinHES? I looked in /usr/local/bin, and its not there.

Thanks.

Use the find Luke!
Code:
find / -name myth.find_orphans.pl -print

You don't need to become a find expert, but this is a basic pattern anyone dealing with a Linux/Unix system should pick up. Like learning about ctrl-left-click in MS-Windows to select more than one non-contiguous thing from a list.

Sorry to bump in,

Find is the expert's way, I use locate, no / or - to remember where to insert !

Code:
# locate *orphan*



I am lazy and I save on keystrokes!

Yep, me too, but find always works and is current, so I teach that first and save locate for later. ;-)
