There are times when one is logged into a MF appliance (whether Filr or another) and needs to figure out where a file is stored. For example, there are often multiple similar Java applications running on an appliance and each has its own path for storing log files. One way to find them would be to use the find command, but this runs in real time, and once must remember the incantations to do wildcards and fuzzy searches. The "locate" command runs from a database that is refreshed at steady intervals and is generally accurate for finding system files. It also very good about finding partial matches. It would be very nice to have this built into the standard MF appliance.
