What's wrong with:
set `ls -id file`
find / -inum $1 -print
It's much more portable than the given program, can limit the search
to any dir instead of /, and is probably faster on most machines.
The moral is: before writing your own utilities (or hacking the kernel
as some budding gurus do), re-read the manual - you'll be surprised how
many new and useful flags are in utilities you have been using daily!
