I am attempting to run a find command via a rsh. A basic find works fine
however when I try to include -exec into the find I keep getting an '-exec
missing argument' message.
Should I be esaping the characters or anything.
The command is similar to this:
rsh hostname -l username find / 'whatever.*' -exec ls -la {} \;
Any/all help appreciated
