On some of my hosts trying doing a recursive search gets a syntax error. On most it works. As all these systems are built from the same source tree, I am not sure where to look for the problem. artemis:~> grep -ilr taiwan * \ grep: unrecognized option `--showDropTarget' |____ does not work Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... | Try `grep --help' for more information. / while artemis:~> grep -ilr taiwan `pwd` : /usr/home/doug/.kde/share/cache/http/c/www.cybertelecom.org_statistics.htm_79304fa1 /usr/home/doug/.kde/share/cache/http/c/www.cybertelecom.org_broadband.htm_36e87ce3 ^C works Thanks for any ideas _____ Douglas Denault doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601
