FGREP question
Hi,

I need fgrep to search all files in the subdirectories in /var/spool/postfix/defer/...

How can I issue such a command?

doing 'man find' could be a starter.

I use find to get all the files in the subdirectories, output it to a text file and then pump the results to fgrep. Piping did not work so I had to use temp file.

look into either find's "-exec' option OR 'man xargs' - this will eliminate the need to the temp file(s).
