find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;
Please let me know where I'm wrong....
Try quoting the command:
ssh user@hostname
"find . -name "*.txt" -exec grep "ARIVU" '{}' \;

wmanager
WMANAGER(1) BSD General Commands Manual WMANAGER(1)
NAME
wmanager -- choose a window manager and launch it
SYNOPSIS
wmanager [OPTIONS ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wmanager program displays a choice of the window managers listed in the ~/.wmanagerrc file. When one is picked, the related command is
written to standard output, intended to be used by shell scripts. If the program is exited without choosing a window manager, ``-1'' is
written to standard output.
-fg COLOR
Set the foreground color.
-bg COLOR
Set the background color.
-bg2 COLOR
Set the widget background color
-di[splay] host:n.n
Set the X display.
-dn[d], -nod[nd]
Enable/disable drag & drop, probably does nothing.
-g[eometry] WxH+X+Y
Set the window size and location.
-i[conic]
Start as iconified.
-k[bd], -nok[bd]
Enable/disable keyboard support.
-na[me] CLASSNAME
Set the X window class.
-s[cheme] SCHEME
Unknown, probably does nothing useful.
-ti[tle] WINDOWTITLE
Set the window title.
-to[oltips], -not[ooltips]
Enable/disable tooltips, probably does nothing.
EXAMPLE
To start using wmanager, create a ~/.wmanagerrc file - generally with wmanagerrc-update(1) - and add something like the following at the end
of your ~/.xsession file:
WM="$(wmanager -geometry +570+585)"
...
exec $WM
See also wmanager-loop(1) for a nicer way to start wmanager.
