ct lsco -a -s -cview | xargs ct ci -nc (Clearcase multiple files check-in)

Question

I get error while running this command on linux.

ct lsco -a -s -cview | xargs ct ci -nc

(ct is for cleartool)

xargs: ct: No such file or directory

How can I avoid this error?

Answer 1

Don't use the alias 'ct' with xargs.

Use cleartool.

As explained in "xargs doesn't recognize bash aliases":

This doesn't work because xargs expects to be able to exec the program given as its parameter.

Since ct in your case is just a bash alias or function there's no program to execute.
