Recently I tracked down a delay in some scripts to this line:find / -name filename* 2>/dev/null | head -n 1
Some notes: find(1) will only get the sigpipe if it writes _after_ head(1) exits. The write pattern is dependent on the buffering in the pipeline. See: https://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/stdio_buffering/ If you do want to only print a _single_ file, you can do this within find(1) like: find / -name 'initrd*' -print -quit cheers, Pádraig
