Let me see if I understand this...someone please correct me if my logic is off. If you type : find / -name httpd* the shell will first process the http* in the current directory and pass the list of files it found to the find command. You would be doing the equivalent of one of these : find / -name httpd find / -name httpda httpdb httpdc httpdd find / -name If you do as Kyle has suggested and type : find / -name "httpd*" the shell will pass http* into find as-is as a parameter, returning what you wanted. I apologize in advance for any Outlook related crap that gets sent with this mail. _______________________________________________ Plug maillist - Plug@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
