Issue
Mac OS X is a beautiful system, from the mach kernel up to finder and spotlight and speaking of spotlight, it truly blew me away when I just needed to execute this command to get all unix executables and ONLY unix executales:
mdfind "kMDItemKind == 'Unix Executable'"
Amazing!!! Really!!!
Now, the question is does anyone know of an equivalent unix or linux command that doesn't involve complex find incantations or doesn't return false positives (like someone perming all their images rwxrwxrwx ?
Solution
Beagle, MetaTracker, Strigi, and even Google Desktop are all desktop indexers for Linux. What's there by default depends on your distribution (some may have none at all), and they all have different tools and interfaces, but the first three support Xesam, so xesam-tool can provide a mdfind-like command-line interface.
