    Hi All,
    I'm sure this is something stupid but I'm running the following command
    and its not working

    base-2.05a$ ssh remotehost find /home -name .bash_history -exec grep foo
    {} \;
    find: missing argument to `-exec'

    I've tried quoting it, escaping it..What am I doing wrong?

    Rus
