Hi!

I was searching for the sysklogd script.

My first try:

root:/# find / -name syslogd -exec pwd ;
find: missing argument to `-exec'

The sintax should be

        root:/# find / -name syslogd -exec pwd \;

but anyway this doesn't work because '-exec' argument is executed in the directory where 'find' is executed and 'pwd' returns the current path (eg. /).

Another way to do that is:

        root:/# find / -name syslogd -exec echo {} \;

but this is useless considering that has same output of

        root:/# find / -name syslogd

My sucessful try:

root:/# find / -name syslogd
/usr/sbin/syslogd


Question:
--------------

Why does "find / -name syslogd -exec pwd ;" not work?

Kind regards,
Leonhard.
