Search files for a string in the remote machine
Hi all,
I want to search the files in a remote machine for a particular string. The SSH command I wrote is giving an error even when the syntax is correct.
ssh user@hostmachine find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;
The error it gives is find: missing argument to `-exec'
When the following command is executed on a local machine, it is working fine
find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;
Please let me know where I'm wrong....

debrsign
DEBRSIGN(1) General Commands Manual DEBRSIGN(1)
NAME
debrsign - remotely sign a Debian changes and dsc file pair using SSH
SYNOPSIS
debrsign [options] [user@]remotehost [changes-file|dsc-file]
DESCRIPTION
debrsign takes either an unsigned .dsc file or an unsigned .changes file and the associated unsigned .dsc file (found by replacing the
architecture name and .changes by .dsc) if it appears in the .changes file and signs them by copying them to the remote machine using
ssh(1) and remotely running debsign(1) on that machine. All options not listed below are passed to the debsign program on the remote
machine.
If a .changes or .dsc file is specified, it is signed, otherwise, debian/changelog is parsed to determine the name of the .changes file to
look for in the parent directory.
This utility is useful if a developer must build a package on one machine where it is unsafe to sign it; they need then only transfer the
small .dsc and .changes files to a safe machine and then use the debsign program to sign them before transferring them back. This program
automates this process.
To do it the other way round, that is to connect to an unsafe machine to download the .dsc and .changes files, to sign them locally and
then to transfer them back, see the debsign(1) program, which can do this task.
OPTIONS
-S Look for a source-only .changes file instead of a binary-build changes file.
-adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to
mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
--multi
Multiarch changes mode: This signifies that debrsign should use the most recent file with the name pattern package_ver-
sion_*+*.changes as the changes file, allowing for the changes files produced by dpkg-cross.
--path remote-path
Specify a path to the GPG binary on the remote host.
--help, --version
Show help message and version information respectively.
Other options
All other options are passed on to debsign on the remote machine.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced in that order to set configuration variables. Command line
options can be used to override configuration file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose. The currently
recognised variables are:
DEBRSIGN_PGP_PATH
Equivalent to passing --path on the command line (see above.)
