Just save it as locate.sh and set a cron to run it as desired and mail the results to you. Make sure to chmod +x to make it executable.

Before running this manually or through the cron dont forget to run the updatedb &. It will update the slocatedatabase so that you get latest results.

Just add updatedb to the beginning of the script above.
