Surely you want a pattern in there somewhere? Without one, that command never terminates - grep will sit there interpreting the value of {} as a pattern and trying to read from stdin: $ find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} \; & $ ps ax | grep grep 1849 pts/48 S+ 0:00 find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ; 1850 pts/48 S+ 0:00 grep -l /etc/motd Been doing that for a while now...
