Hi,

Having issues with the . parameter in the find command.

Issuing "find . -name \*.pl" gives me
find: cannot open .: No such device

I got it working by substituting . with *, so "find * -name \*.pl" gives the correct listing.
bin/test.pl

"which find" lists /bin/find.

Anybody know how to reset the find command to normal ?

Thanks,
James.

What os and version are you using? What does "ls -ld ." show?

I'm on SunOS.

uname -a gives
SunOS hasas22 5.8 Generic_108528-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

ls - ld shows
ls -ld

You do not have read permission and execute permission on the current directory.

chmod 600 .

OK sorry, didn't think that wuold make any difference as "find * -name \*.pl" worked.

I have now set the file permission to 600.

ls -ld now shows the following:
ls -ld

Thanks

Actually I meant "chmod 500 .". I am on a 5.8 box and I cannot recreate your sequence of events. What kind of filesystem are you using? If you don't mind, go back to that directory and do the following commands...
df -t . ..
/usr/sbin/mount | grep `/usr/bin/pwd`

Hi,

As far as I know I'm on an AFS file system.

Have changed the chmod to 500

hasas22 /ms/user/j/jabrady 132$ ls -ld

However the `/usr/bin/pwd` is not in the returned data and cannot be grepped out.
hasas22 /ms/user/j/jabrady 144$ /usr/sbin/mount|grep `/usr/bin/pwd`

Thanks
