    Now that we are off of the remote mysql server some accounts might still have the remote IP in some of the scripts.

    Anyone know what search command can search the home directory to see if anyone has the IP still?

    I tried:

    grep -r "66.111.111.111" *

    But it's taking forever and hasn't shown any results.

    Thanks

    You could try the following instead, which would be a better way to not miss any possible files:

    Code:
    find /home -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -n "66.111.111.111"
    No matter what command you use, a check on all files in /home is going to take awhile.

    Or if you want use just grep hit:

    cd /home
    grep -lir "192.168.1.1" *

    It will return every file that contains ip 192.168.1.1.
    You can use sed to make a find and replace so you don't need edit them automatically.

    It's up to you.
