I am a newbie to linux. But I am very willing to learn.
I had a question from a guy on how to write a script in linux that searches for eggdrops. I would like to give him a good answer. Some of the problem is that I for the moment dont have a linux machine. But I would appreciate some suggestions on how to learn how to write scripts, and how to search for eggdrops.

I guess its kinda hard to search for a already compiled binary. So, if I would guess, are there any user logs on commands. And if so, is it possible then to search these logs to see if the eggdrop binary have been compiled and executed?
