Find -exec invokes the command directly using exec(2). There's no shell
underlying the command, so pipes are out (even if you had correctly
escaped the '|').

Remove the quotes from "echo {}". The "No such file or directory" error
is because find cannot run a program named "echo ./daemon.2.gz". Remove
the quotes and it will try to run "echo" with an argument
of "daemon.2.gz".

I know this is more of a general 'huh' kind of thing, but I figured someone
could kick start my brain for me. Anyone know why this doesn't work? It
appears to find the files ok but the -exec part thinks it can't?
spider:/var/log# find . -name "daemon.*.gz" -exec "echo {}" \;
find: echo ./daemon.2
