Summary: find fails on -exec, -execdir, -ok, -okdir Project: findutils Submitted by: None Submitted on: Fri 31 Oct 2014 07:09:08 AM UTC Category: find Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Mike TW Originator Email: mik...@internode.on.net Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.4.2 Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I must be doing something wrong, findutils-4.4.2 is not new and I find no such complaint regarding find/findutils on the Web. This happens with both a 4.4.2 binary from the GNU/Linux distribution and a fresh compile of findutils-4.4.2.tar.gz obtained from ftp.gnu.org. The find(1) manpage supplies in the EXAMPLES section the example $ find . -type f -exec file '{}'\; find: missing argument to `-exec' It happens on three different hosts (all Slackware 14.1) with Linux kernel versions 3.10.17, 3.15.10 and 3.17.1 respectively, and whether the user has a .bash_profile or not. As noted in the subject line, it's not only -exec that fails in this way. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43507> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
