(1) grep -l -r ConsoleKit .
this is easiest; -r is "recursive" But it will cross file system
boundaries, so if you do it from / it will go into /use and /media
and anywhere else it can find!
(2) find / /usr -type f -xdev -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l ConsoleKit
This is the usual "find" approach.
-type f means only print names of files, not directories, symbolic
links or device files...
-xdev means don't stray into other filesystems like /home
-print0 is the same as -print (prints each matching name) but prints
the filenames with a NUL (character 0, hence the 0 in -print0)
after each name, instead of putting each file on a separate line.
This is needed because of filenames containing spaces or newlines.
xargs reads a list of files, one per line, or, with -0 (again the
digit zero) separated by NUL bytes; it runs the command on each of
the files
The -l option to grep says to print just the filename, needed in
case there are binaries that contain the string.
