charlie@marvin:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01  'find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec grep foo {}\;'
find: missing argument to `-exec'
charlie@marvin:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01  'find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec grep foo {} \;'

Is it like this in your case maybe?
(I added a space near the end between } and \ ... )


or like this:

charlie@marvin:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01  find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec grep foo {} \;
find: missing argument to `-exec'
charlie@marvin:~$ ssh -l bss atsrvlx01  'find /home -name ".bash_history" -exec grep foo {} \;'
grep: /home/bss/mailarchive_save/.bash_history: Permission denied
find: /home/bss/mailarchive_save/.ssh: Permission denied
grep: /home/bss/nagios.bak.new/.bash_history: Permission denied
find: /home/bss/nagios.bak.new/.ssh: Permission denied
grep: /home/bss/mailarchive_save_new/.bash_history: Permission denied
find: /home/bss/mailarchive_save_new/.ssh: Permission denied
charlie@marvin:~$

?

Don't worry. Everything is getting nicely out of control.
