SYNOPSIS

searchall [-a] [-c] [-f] [-i] [-l] [-n] [-s sizeval] [-x]* [-X]* searchstring [wheretosearch]

DESCRIPTION

This script searchs the entire directory for normal files containing
a particular string.
NOTE:   The "find" ignores files greater than 4 megabytes (to avoid grepping
    the big database files), and any files in /tmp with the name srh.*
    (to avoid grepping the output files this script creates).

OPTIONS

-a	allow search of autofs filesystems (default is to not search them)
-c	cat the output file after the search is done
-f	pass -follow option to find command
-i	pass -i flag to grep command
-l	pass -l flag to grep command
-n	pass -n flag to grep command
-s sizeval
	pass ’-size sizeval’ to find to limit maximum file size <sizeval> (default=-$sflag (‘echo "${sflag}*512/1024/1024" | bc‘ MB)) Note: if you specify this value, you must use ’-’ for less than or ’+’ for greater than; you may use ’c’ character for bytes
-x	does ’set -x’ (may be used in functions and external script calls) (see DIAGNOSTICS below)
-X	sets debugging level--the number of times -X is specified" (see DIAGNOSTICS below)

FILES

the output file /tmp/srh.dddhhmm (3 letter day of the week|hour|minute)
