There's 2 different egreps on solaris. I had to give the full path to the one that supported the -x option. Granted this isn't the most up to date SunOS: % uname -a SunOS cluster1 5.8 Generic_117350-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 % echo "some text here" | /usr/xpg4/bin/egrep -x "" ; echo $status 1 % echo "some text here" | gegrep -x "" ; echo $status 1
