Edit Question
Title
Body
My question is in two parts : 1) Why does grep hang when I grep all files under "/" ? for example : grep -r 'h' ./ (note : right before the hang/crash, I note that I see some "no such device or address" messages , regarding sockets.... Of course, I know that grep shouldn't run against a socket, but I would think that since sockets are just files in Unix, it should return a negative result, rather than crashing. 2) Now, my follow up question : In any case -- how can I grep the whole filesystem? Are there certain *NIX directories which we should leave out when doing this ? In particular, I'm looking for all recently written log files.
