using -exec in a script
I am using a third party job management program called Autosys. the command to load a jil into the autosys database is jil < somefilename.jil
I have a directory and it in are a lot of jils. rather than type jil < somefilename.jil for every file I would like to script something do do it. if cd to the dir and run the following command:
fin . -name "*.jil" -exec rm {} \;
it removes every .jil file in the dir. So with that rational i tried running this command to load the jil's:
find . -name "*.jil" -exec jil < {} \;
I figured it would perform jil < ...... for every .jil file in the dir, but it came back with this error:
A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
ksh: {}: 0403-016 Cannot find or open the file.
any ideas what I am doing wrong?

jh_generateorbitdir

JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1)						    Javahelper						    JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1)

NAME

       jh_generateorbitdir - Creates and populates an orbit dir used by pde-build for third-party jar files.

SYNOPSIS

       jh_generateorbitdir [debhelperoptions] [--orbit-dir=dir] [orbit-dep[...]]

DESCRIPTION

       jh_generateorbitdir is a javahelper program that handles creation of an orbit dependency dir. This directory has to be populated with non-
       eclipse jar files. However, eclipse refers to these jars by their "symbolic name". jh_generateorbitdir can extract this name from the jar's
       manifest (provided it has the OSGi metadata) and create a symlink to it.

       jh_generateorbitdir will replace regular files with symlinks if they are present in the orbit dir and clash with the name of one of the
       orbit jars. If an orbit jar name clashes with a symlink in the orbit dir, then jh_generateorbitdir will assume that the given jar has
       already been symlinked correctly. In this case the jar file is still recorded in the cache (see below).

       jh_generateorbitdir will also check the default installation for jar files on Debian systems (at the time of writing /usr/share/java), if
       it cannot find the jar in the current dir.

       Jar files replaced by jh_generateorbitdir will be recorded so that jh_installeclipse can replace with symlinks them post install.

FILES

       debian/eclipse.orbitdeps
	   List of orbit dependencies - one per line. This can be used as an alternative to passing it per command line.

OPTIONS

       --orbit-dir=dir
	   Specifies the directory from where the orbit-dir is or should be created. Defauls to "debian/.eclipse_build/orbitdeps".

EXAMPLE

	 jh_generateorbitdir --orbit-dir orbit asm3 oro

       Will generate a folder called orbit with two symlinks based on asm3 and oro's symbolic name.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
