I have been using the find command to search for files periodically that
contain certain phrases throughout the web directory like this
find . -exec grep -l "getimage.cgi" {} \; 2> /www/jerry/wrong-banners.txt
which has been really useful.  I just run it from the top of my htdocs
directory and it goes through all the subdirectories.  Basically it finds
any pages that my ad banner code is messed up on.  Now I'd like to be able
to find any file on my web directory that _doesn't_ have a certain phrase
in it.  All of my web pages should have ad banner code that runs from a
script called getad.cgi    Maybe find isn't the right command for this
task, but I want to find any page that has a .htm* extension that does not
contain the phrase getad.cgi in htdocs or any subdirectory under it.
Anyone have any pointers to help me get started...

Jerry
