UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

2 AIX servers (AIX 5.3). From local server, I need to manage remote files. But I have some errors with find :
# rsh remoteserver find /directory -name filename
is OK : I can see the remote file
BUT :
# rsh remoteserver find /directory -name filename -exec ls -l {} \;
fails : I have :
find : 0652-018 Il manque un paramètre requis dans un terme de l'expression.
(something like : A parameter required in a term of the expression is missing)

What can I do ?
Thank you in advance

Does "filename" have any embedded metacharacters or spaces? The error is a complaint about find syntax.

The errors seems to be in the -exec part :
This command is OK :
# rsh aixtes find /ora50/DEOPCA2 -name DEOPCA_1_2048.dbf
The answer is OK :
/ora50/DEOPCA2/DEOPCA_1_2048.dbf

This command is wrong :
#rsh aixtes find /ora50/DEOPCA2 -name DEOPCA_1_2048.dbf -exec ls -l {} \;
The answer is :
find : 0652-018 Il manque un paramètre requis dans un terme de l'expression.

I try the same commands with a brand new file I have just created : /ora50/DEOPCA2/stuff. I have exactly the same answers.

I suppose I have to do some changes around "{} \;" because I run it through rsh, but I don't see what.

OKKKKKKKKKK !!!!
As I wrote in the reply : "... around "{} \;" ...", I thought I could try a new command :
#rsh aixtes find /ora50/DEOPCA2 -name stuff -exec ls -l "{} \;"
And the answer is OK :
-rw-r--r-- 1 oramgr dba 0 29 mai 14:21 /ora50/DEOPCA2/stuff
You can consider this post as closed !

send the command string as a quoted string

Code:

rsh aixtes "find /ora50/DEOPCA2 -name stuff -exec ls -l {} \;"

or as

Code:

rsh aixtes "find /ora50/DEOPCA2 -name stuff | xargs ls -l"

Thank you, that's good for me
