Pattern search

hi,

I am a beginner in script writing. I want to write a script which takes string as input from user and than file name(s) and searches for the files containing that string across the multiple servers and lists those files containing the searched string.

by 'across multiple servers' do you mean you have to connect to the remote box to view the files? or are the files locally mounted?

Yes Jim. I need to connect to the remote boxes to view files as well as the box on which my script exists.
