I have a bash script that works on one PC, does not work on another. I
had thought they were configured the same, apparently not!
Here's the script, short and sour:
#!/bin/bash
#invoke audit.sh if results are too old
/usr/bin/find /cygdrive/c/audit.txt -mtime +7 -exec
/cygdrive/c/audit/audit.sh \;
error message is 'find: missing argument to -exec'. audit.sh is
another script, one that executes okay on both PCs when invoked
directly. Also, if I just type in the command, it works on both PCs.
I googled the error message and cygwin, seems a lot of people
encounter this problem with -exec rm {}\;, not putting in the space.
But this -exec doesn't use {}, has a space in front of \;, and works
fine on a different machine, exact same script. Maybe different
versions of find? Some strange enviroment thing? I re-installed cygwin
from scratch on the one that bombs, no help there.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
