Query on (standard input) messages being issued by script
Hi.
I'm working in an IBM mainframe UNIX environment and am running a script as follows:
The idea is to locate all *.xml files beneath where I happen to be in the directory structure, convert then from ASCII to EBCDIC (necessary as egrep works on ebcdic files on the IBM mainframe platform) and then search for a particular string in them. If found then issue a message indicating that the string was found in the ascii file.
When I run it I see output like this:
Does anyone know why I'm getting the (standard input) between each of the lines being echo'd following a successful find ?
Thanks,
Neil.

Or I can do something besides xargs. (2 Replies)

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
