I see. Solaris does not have GNU find so try:
Code:
find / -name ‘your-file.name'....

instead and finish with -exec blabla ';'

your grep does not know option -H so use -l. Stat error is given because of the incorect user permissions.

I ran your command and got this

Code:
find / -name `*.sh` -exec grep -li "word_to_search" '{}' ';'

bash: ./altertable.CBS00017961.sh: Permission denied
find: bad option grep
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
