At /home/me/bin I've got a script called fg. The meat of it is:
find . -name "$1" | xargs grep $2
The intent is to call it as "fg file_pattern search_pattern" and search all matching files. I've added the directory to my path and made the file executable, but when I try to use it I get
fg: no such job
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi James,
fg is a command to restart suspended process or job.
instead, why dont you give execute permissions to the script
(eg. chmod 755 fg)
and then execute the scripts by saying
./fg file_pattern search_pattern
This should work
lemme know
or best rename the script (fg) to something else;)
Renaming it worked. But now grep is not giving the path to the fine. Any ideas?
