Re: bash, find | xargs grep


> I've been doing "find | xargs grep" types of things

Bob, I don't know the source of your trouble, but as a workaround consider
running grep -r instead of find | xargs grep.  In many cases it's equivalent
or almost as good, and it probably will avoid all of the forking that's
causing trouble for you.  A.
