Here's a few options: If you don't have root permission, then you can supress error messages like so: 'find -ignore_readdir_race /parent/path/here -name file_name.txt' Or if you can get permission, then: 'sudo find /parent/path/here -name file_name.txt' yay!

Normal output goes to "standard output" which can be redirected with normal measures. It's actually a nice thing that those messages are sent to "standard error" so you can redirect those but keep the more interesting responses. find / -name something 2> /dev/null Yeah, totally.
