Using find command

[boopathyvasagam]

I am searching for a file common_functions.ksh.
I am now currently in the directory /home/ERP
Under this there are few directories but i don't know where is that file. Could anyone tell me how to find that using the find command.
Also suggest some place where i could get good tutorials for the basic commands with good examples.

I don't blame you for being confused about find. It's a very complex command. But finding a file by name is simple.

find -name "common_functions.ksh"

This will only work if the file really does come under your home directory. If the file is not a very new one, a simpler way is to use the locate command, which will find it anywhere on the system.
