Matrixmadhan,
Thanks for verifying my solution.
You are right about it -- for this specific case, I don't really need 'egrep'.

Matrix, I have a habit of always use 'egrep' no matter what.

This comes from the fact that I have had problems trying to use some full
regular expressions with 'grep' -- I had to specify the '-E' option.

Sometimes I found that out after a long headache.

From my last disaster, I promise myself to never use 'grep' again, always 'egrep'.

Matrix, also to reinforce my idea, all three versions of 'grep' in my system all have the same hardlink:
Code:
>ls -li grep egrep fgrep
329785 -r-xr-xr-x  7 root  bin  22.1K Apr 12 09:11 egrep
329785 -r-xr-xr-x  7 root  bin  22.1K Apr 12 09:11 fgrep
329785 -r-xr-xr-x  7 root  bin  22.1K Apr 12 09:11 grep

Which leads me to believe that they are all the same program.

Hope to have answered your question.

Cheers.Smilie

FS_WHEREIS(1)						       AFS Command Reference						     FS_WHEREIS(1)

NAME
fs_whereis - Reports each file server housing a file or directory SYNOPSIS
fs whereis [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help] fs whe [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs whereis command returns the name of each file server machine that houses the volume containing each directory or file named by the -path argument. OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+ Names each AFS file or directory for which to return the host file server machine. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The output includes a line for each specified directory or file. It names the file server machine on which the volume that houses the specified directory or file resides. A list of multiple machines indicates that the directory or file is in a replicated volume. Machine names usually have a suffix indicating their cell membership. If the cell is not clear, use the fs whichcell command to display the cell in which the directory or file resides. To display the cell membership of the local machine, use the fs wscell command. EXAMPLES
The following example indicates that volume housing the directory /afs/abc.com resides is replicated on both "fs1.abc.com" and "fs3.abc.com": % fs whereis -path /afs/abc.com File /afs/abc.com is on hosts fs1.abc.com fs3.abc.com PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
