[olug] ideas??

[Noel Leistad]

Is this something obvious....

have a script that calls grep ~phrase~ /path to files/*|tail

if I put script in directory in path, I get
"/bin/grep: Augument list too long"

if I C/P line from script and execute directly in /path to files/ as
grep ~phrase~ *

I get valid response (at least until file count in directory goes to high)


TIA
