Quinn McHenry Yeah, totally. Normal output goes to "standard output" which can be redirected with normal measures. It's actually a nice thing that those messages are sent to "standard error" so you can redirect those but keep the more interesting responses.
Jesse F. His problem is is that he doesn't have permissions to view a lot of the files 'find' uses. Here's a few options: If you don't have root permission, then you can supress error messages like so: 'find -ignore_readdir_race /parent/path/here -name file_name.txt' Or if you can get permission, then: 'sudo find /parent/path/here -name file_name.txt'
find / -name something 2> /dev/null
