Locating a script that you don't know the name of in Linux

This thread really got shit on .....
The proper thing to do is to use your privilege account to search for the file. You must know some keywords or something associated with this file.
As you are not familar with bash, let me clarify what @stacksofplates said.
Run this to search for "app-agent".
find /home -executable -type f | grep app-agent -

The admin can just reset passwords or log in as people. There is never a need to know the local user account passwords (and that goes for Windows, too.)
What goes for Windows too?
that you can
a) log in as a user without knowing the password
b) rest the user's password?obviously we know that we as admins can do 'b'... but I read Scott's comment to say he's talking about 'a'
Oh FFS, stop cluttering up threads randomly. The fucking platform has a reply as topic button. Use it.
You little side rant about windows was nothing but confusing in a thread about fucking Linux.
read more of the fucking thread before blasting - because your rant has already come and gone.

No but you might get badgered into oblivion.

What's that supposed to mean? Generally speaking, we're here to help not to harass.

last week I had to find a scrip in our etc folder that contained an IP address. Google Fu found the following:
grep -rnw '/etc/' -e '{put ip address in these quotes}'
If you know what the script contains, maybe a key word you could use this for finding it -
