| snail | what's the linux command for split long command lines, to deal with errors like 'bash: /bin/grep: Argument list too long' ? I've used it before but forgotten the name | 21:54 |

| ajmitch | or you run things from find -exec | 21:57 |
| snail | ajmitch: thanks, yes, that's the program I was thinking of | 22:20 |
