The solution sort of work / not work, the problem is if there is no match, then xargs does a full listing. That is if it found file/s that matches the search string and hence file exist, it does list the files but if it doesn't find a match it do a full listing instead
See example below:
Code:
$: ls -ltr
total 16
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "bad" * | xargs ls -l
-rw-r----- 1 tester dba 15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "corrupt" * | xargs ls -l
total 16
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
$: uname -a
SunOS [hostname] 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v
$: cat corrupt.txt
BAD FILE FOUND
And just realized I can just actually just do ls -l but it gave me the same behaviour:
Code:
$: ls -l `grep -il "bad" *`
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: ls -l `grep -il "corrupt" *`
total 16
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r----- 1 tester omg 0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
I guess this is the expected behavior but kinda hoping it'll just do nothing if it doesn't find any or print something maybe instead? Any suggestion?

This is probably very easy but I've no idea how to pull this out.
Basically, I need to find errors into a very large logfile. When you grep the ID, the output is like this:

orbit2-config
ORBIT2-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual ORBIT2-CONFIG(1)NAME
orbit2-config - helper script for building with ORBit2
SYNOPSIS
orbit2-config [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --prefix=dir ] [ --exec-prefix=dir ] [ --use-service=service ] [ client | server ]
orbit2-config [ --version ] [ --help ]
DESCRIPTION
orbit2-config is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
the orbit2 library. It is also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with orbit2.
The argument client is used for compiling an orbit2 client, and server for compiling an orbit2 server. In most cases, you will use one (or
both) of the options --cflags or --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.
OPTIONS
orbit2-config accepts the following options:
--version
Print the currently installed version of library on the standard output.
--help Print a usage summary.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.
--prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that library was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
before any --libs or --cflags options.
--exec-prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that library was built with when computing the output for the
--cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
--use-service=SERVICE
If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for using the specified service. Known values for SERVICE are: module CosNaming,
interfaces LNameComponent, LName.
