My question is, "Do I not understand, or is my information out of date?"
I am trying to just be a student, rtfm'ing. I am working on my work systems. Is it simply that the book was printed in 2002 and a lot has changed since then, or did I miss something?
Working in Korn Shell.
I have been reading O'Reilly "Learning the Korn Shell." (Which deals with ksh93)
We have Version M-11/16/88f, not 93.
I was reading about quoting, and the book cited an example using the 'find' command. It states that I need to quote wildcards used in the find command. It also says I need to use "-print" to see the results.
I use the find command a lot. I have neither been quoting/escaping, nor using -print, but I get what I am looking for:
I am not being deliberately thick. I am inclined to assume, "old book, old shell, it works how it works, move on..."
But, I have hamstrung myself in the past by carrying around half-misunderstood concepts. Quoting and regex are things that are fuzzy to me, and I want to get them straight.

Hi,
I've been trying to write a regex to use in egrep (in a shell script) that'll fetch the names of all the files that match a particular pattern. I expect to match the following line in a file:
Name = "abc"
The regex I'm using to match the same is:
egrep -l '(^) *= *" ** *"$' /PATH_TO_SEARCH... (6 Replies)

timedc
TIMEDC(8) System Manager's Manual TIMEDC(8)NAME
timedc - timed control program
SYNOPSIS
timedc [ command [ argument ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Timedc is used to control the operation of the timed program. It may be used to:
o measure the differences between machines' clocks,
o find the location where the master time server is running,
o enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed, and
o perform various debugging actions.
Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first
argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing timedc to
read commands from a file. Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are:
? [ command ... ]
help [ command ... ]
Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized
commands.
clockdiff host ...
Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
trace { on | off }
Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed in the file /usr/adm/timed.log.
quit
Exit from timedc.
Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed; the help command and the program source may be consulted for
details.
FILES
/usr/adm/timed.log tracing file for timed
/usr/adm/timed.masterlog log file for master timed
