Hi,
I was using grep for quite some time. I came across the option of
" grep -q" on the AIX box to supress the Output of the grep.
I don't see the option available on the grep binary with another
Solaris box. I can use "grep -s" option to supress only the Errored
output. It's still showing the grep output.

I would like know the equivalent option on the Solaris OS for the
"grep -q" of AIX. I can provide the grep utility versions tomorrow
morning only.

Thanks in advance for your time and energy,
Da..

Hello,

on solaris you can use the XPG4 version of grep for use the -q flag:
/usr/xpg4/bin/grep
