The quick way to get an answer is:
find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} \;

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...

One hopes Chuck (and others) can read a man page:-) I gave a skeleton
for finding files and doing something with them.
Well if one was to use something like:
# pinfo manpage
then there is not a problem.
# info manpage
and I'd not put any money on it.
