As per my understanding, command is working fine(which one I used). B'coz on RHEL machine its showing 5_*.*: No such file or directory
but on AIX machine its showing find: 0652-019 The status on 1_*.* is not valid.
Context is the same of both saying.
So what I'm thinking to do(now) that How can I put a customized message like: "No file with this name", when there is no file.
Plz help me with that.

I tried:
Code:
if [$? -nq 0] | awk '{print}' | else echo " File not found"

I knew it would through an error. and So it did :-)
I need help with this Smilie
