- Subject: grep hangs
Hi Folks,
I have the problem that grep hangs after I try to search a string in all
files of a directory.
grep fun *
I can see that the grep process is idle as far as I understand the first
letter in the ps right.
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
I 3144 3652 3144 3052 con 13724 09:52:02 /usr/bin/grep
What is going wrong here? When I use
grep fun a* [^a]*
grep hang after processing all files which start with 'a' and hangs
than.
What can I do to fix the problem?
Grep 2.5 is installed on my computer
Thanks Franz
