Re: how grep rm command for sh_history of multiple user?

hey

an easy script would be this:

cd /home
while user in $(ls) ; do
echo $user
grep rm $user/.sh_history
done

or maybe you can poste you script...

.sh_history has binary characters. In some cases, grepping them locks up my hpterm.
You can pipe the results to vis(1) to prevent this. Taking Pete's example:
grep -n "rm" /home/*/.sh_history | vis
