'locate' is your friend.  Since we run a find on all the directories
every night which caches the information on what's available on
freefall, at most you are 24 hours out of date with the files on
freefall.

Instead of 'find / -name foo'*' -print' you can do a 'locate foo | more'
which does the same thing.
