How do I find the path to a particular program?

This can easily be done through SSH (if your particular planallows SSH acceess). Once you have established a connection to your account via SSH, you can use the "whereis" utility to find the path to the program you are trying to locate. For example, if you wanted to find the path to the "grep" program, you would type the following from the command line:
"whereis grep"
