Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will return the path of the mysql executable, typically something like /usr/bin/mysql

Consider the following directory structure:

/
  home/
    user1/
      file1.txt
      file2.txt
    user2/
      file3.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
find /home -type f
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
