I need to list all files that refer to my network-name, but I can't work
out a command to do it. I thought I would have to cat everything,
piping through grep 'string', but that doesn't search recursively, the
help-file doesn't show a recursive flag, and I'm not sure that it would
actually give me the filenames anyway.
For a multitude of different ways of doing this, check out the thread
from last month where the same question was asked:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-January/msg02876.html
My personal favourite solution for this problem:
$ grep -i -r -l 'string' /place/to.start/searching
This would have been much easier to find in the archives if the OP from
last month had used a sensible Subject: and hadn't hijacked another
thread of course.
