Problem with grep opening a file
Hello All,
Here is my silly question on grep..
Here is my code..

Code:
DAY=$(date --date="yesterday" +%y.%m.%d)

check "grep -h ' 404 ' /home/sathya/SystemOut.log /home/sathya/SystemOut_${DAY}*.log "

Where check is alias which makes to run this command in all my Servers[created with ssh and public keys].

When I execute the above statement, I receive the error that grep : cannot open the file.

Here is my debug output

Code:
+ + check_lvnodes grep -h ' 404 ' /home/sathya/SystemOut.log  /home/sathya/SystemOut_12.10.24_*.log

grep: 0652-033 Cannot open /home/sathya/SystemOut_12.10.24_*.log.

Where as it grep the pattern in SystemOut.log . Also the SystemOut_12.10.24_*.log are present in the specified directory..

Code:
SystemOut_12.10.24_03.03.52.log  SystemOut_12.10.24_04.15.24.log  SystemOut_12.10.24_06.01.35.log


I am missing something here, please shout me on what am i missing

Code:
check "grep -h ' 404 ' /home/sathya/SystemOut.log /home/sathya/SystemOut_${DAY}*.log "

"*" is loosing its special value since its inside the double quotes...try a workaround on this...

Code:
check 'find /home/sathya/ -name "SystemOut.log" -o -name "SystemOut_${DAY}*"|xargs grep -h " 404 "'
