This works. Instead of escaping, I just encapsulated within single-quotes: acct-dev: ISP-RADIUS % grep srm /home/steve/.cshrc alias srm '/usr/bin/find . -name "*~" | /usr/bin/xargs rm' Olivier: I didn't test your theory, but thanks for the tip. I've just become accustomed over the years to use xargs when making bulk rm's ;) Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
