alias for find
I've tried to define an alias for the find cmd. I want a find -name and send the error messages to /dev/null. I entered the alias as followed:
# alias myfind 'find $1 -name $2 2>/dev/null' But it didn't work. Any idea what's wrong with that? |

You are probably using the korn shell or some shell similiar to it. They don't have powerful alias commands that can handle stuff like that. You must use functions instead:
myfind() { find $1 -name $2 2>/dev/null ; } |
