I have a file that is soft linked to another directory and I
want to be able to search through all of my files and the linked
file for a certain expression. So I use
% grep -l whatever `find . -print`
But find "does not follow symbolic links to other files or
directories".
The above use to work but I have been moved to another machine
and the filesystems are Networked. (i.e. I'm on "mach1> in /k2"
while the file I want is "mach2> /k1/bogus".)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time. (Go Vikings!!)
