The find command - use it to search anything

One best tool exists in linux is the find command. I will try to add the different ways to use the find command.

1) To find files of a particular owner/group:

        # find /tmp -user
       eg.
       # find /tmp -user foo
       [shall search files owned by user foo in the /tmp folder]

        # find /tmp -group
        eg.
        # find /tmp -group foo
       [shall search files belonged to group  foo in the /tmp folder]

2) To find files  that were accessed last 33 days ago:


       # find  . -type f -atime +33 -exec ls -l '{}' \;
