hi,

find / -type f -exec grep -l "80.0.0.10" {} \;

but be aware of high system load.

regards,
Thierry.

Hi Raj,

simply type

cd /
for i in `ls`
do
grep -l '80.0.0.10' $i
done

Simple and fast :-)

As Thierry wrote:
I suggest to use find and define/specify name of files. Otherwise it will take too long time to look inside all files. It is usuallu ascii/conf files.

find / -name "file*.*" -type f -exec grep -l "80.0.0.10" {} \;

You can do it as ,

grep '90.0.0.10' `find -name "*"`

If you are going to search in all files, there will be some problem.

grep will make problem on searching a patter in an object executable files.

It is good to use some extensions of a file.

Example:
grep '80.0.0.10' `find . -name "*.log"`
./test.log:80.0.0.10

Hi,

my proposal is fast if it's in the straight line - otherwise you'll have to use the `ls -R` option which takes longer time.
If you want to use the "find" - option then you can limit the search through the use of "-xdev" (without crossing mount points) which would speed up the search

find / -xdev -type f -exec ...

Thanks Therrie , Franky , Muthukumar and all who replied.

Well it is taking lond time , is there any way to find out the string "80.0.0.10" , for ASCII files only.

i wanted to know which files in oracle is using the IP address , or hostname .

ASCII file searching only would be a good options. And feedback will be appreciated.

Hi,

as a workaround you can try the following :

for i in `ls -R`
do
file $i|grep ascii
if test $? = 0
then
grep -l '80.0.0.10' $i
fi
done
