Searching through /dev is, in particular, a bad idea. There are a number of files in there that grep would search forever. (random, urandom, zero, most any character device) Give "grep -r" a more specific target is a good idea. Also, you might get more flexibility out of a combination of find + xargs grep. "find" can be told what kind of files you want searched. For instance, to search regular files (which you definitely want, at a minimum) that end in .txt, use: find /target -type f -name '*.txt' | xargs grep enable _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
