More powerful search

The find command is the most powerful and flexible utility to find files and directories. Here is how the find command works.

find/➊ -typef➋ -nameapache2➌

First I state the directory in which to start the search, in this case,/➊. Then I specify
which type of file to search for, in this case for an ordinary file ➋. Last, I give the name
of the file I’m searching for, in this case, apache2➌.

ps aux | grep vpn or 
ps aux | grep <service name or file name>
