In the attempt to understand why I keep getting the following error

error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'

while using the command sudo find / -type s the terminal prompted something like this

find: ‘/proc/31348/task/31348/fd/5’: No such file or directory

find: ‘/proc/31348/task/31348/fdinfo/5’: No such file or directory

find: ‘/proc/31348/fd/5’: No such file or directory

find: ‘/proc/31348/fdinfo/5’: No such file or directory

What does this mean?

/proc is a pseudo-filesystem, files under /proc don't actually exist on your hard drive. They contain information on currently running processes. These errors occur because some processes exited while find was running. It's totally normal.

(Actually, if you run find over and over again, and use a command such as ps a | grep find to get the PID of your find command, you'll see the same PID as the ones in the error messages. It's kind of like when you do ps a | grep ps the grep command will be "grapped" too.)
