I assume you only know the file name, and neither the server nor 
directory it was in.  If you know both, see Gavin's answer.  If you know 
neither,

cd `amgetconf <yourconfig> indexdir`
zgrep pippo.sh */*/*
(or, if that fails with an `argument list too long' error,
find -type f | xargs zgrep pippo.sh
)
