I envision the end goal in detail. e.g. if I'm building a business, I envision the office we are in, the staff, the levels of income and the services we provide, etc.

Got it. Do you search based on pattern in the filename only, or on the pattern in the full path to the file? I ask because my next suggestion would be to put the output of find into a database so you can have the benefit of modern indexing

How about caching output from "find" on the few filesystems and then searching the output? You can refresh the cache from cron. It'd be faster than running "find" each time.

I had a perl script to do mean, median and std dev; it'd be great to have this functionality available through the OS vendor as a package.

I use CFEngine 3 in production and the report collection and instant insight into infrastructure that it provides is quite elegant. (E.g. http://www.slideshare.net/cfengine/15-nice-reports-with-cf-e... ) For example, I

Speaking of mature, CFEngine has been around since 1993 and is now in its third generation. I just wish they would do a little marketing.
