find command and its following links

[philipose]

Hi AIX gurus,
I am trying to use the follow flag in the find command to find files in a link. Here I have a link saswork that is linked to the directory /pfsaswork/a43317pf.saswork. See below

a43317pf@usvh2euap2a:/home/a43317pf>ls -l saswork

lrwxrwxrwx 1 a43317pf pfsusr 27 Oct 17 10:16 saswork -> /pfsaswork/a43317pf.saswork


I am trying to use the command find saswork -follow and I am instead of looking in /pfsaswork/a43317pf.saswork/SAS_work4D27000BB014_usvh2euap2a, it is looking in /saswork/SAS_work4D27000BB014_usvh2eua. See below. Any ideas ??

a43317pf@usvh2euap2a:/home/a43317pf>find saswork -follow -ls

16496 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 a43317pf pfsusr 27 Oct 17 10:16 saswork -> /pfsaswork/a43317pf.saswork
8204 0 drwxr-x--- 2 a43317pf pfsusr 256 Oct 29 12:08 saswork/SAS_work4D27000BB014_usvh2euap2a

Hi,
I think I figured it out.

find -H saswork -ls

Thanks
