Is there any relationship between any of the information you have and the unique directory name (ud for short)? For instance, based on node name and user id? Is there
any expectation of any other directory having the name ud.default in the parent directory?
If not, then maybe u can use *. That will depend on where and what command is executed.
Going to need all the normal info for anyone to help..
1. What are the environmentals (os, shell, etc)
2. What is the big picture of the problem.
3. Is the script expected to run on one machine or several?
4. What are you grep'ing to get the info?
