[NTLUG:Discuss] What is this?

[Hanna, Mark]

rats, I forgot to also mention pstree... a pretty nifty command I wish
was on Solaris.  It puts the children under the parents in a
semi-graphical format.

Thanks Rev and Mark.  You've relieved my mind.  Now that you've told me
what is going on here, I recall a conversation on here from some time
back about using locate and making sure the locate database is updated
periodically.

Which brings me to another question.  The difference between find and
locate is that find has to actually check the files on the disk and
locate checks a database?  Is that what makes locate so much faster? 
I've pretty much given up on find in favor of locate because of the
speed difference.
