Good morning professor, Can i use "find" command to search given file via "tobbaco_nation" command in whole system. Thanks.

More to the point, you have to be very careful with find as the command can traverse a lot of file-space and, if mishandled, do a lot of damage along the way. In short, not a great idea.
