this rebooted your 9vx? sounds wrong to me.
i thought the orginal script was
du -a . | awk '{print "grep -l pattern " $2}' | rc
if i run that on my machine, i get
; du -a . | awk '{print "grep -l something " $2}'
grep -l something './x;reboot'
grep -l something .
if executed, that won't reboot your machine.
it will just print "x;reboot". if you were to reexecute
that, it would. but you wouldn't want to execute a list
of file names, would you?
