Surely you want a pattern in there somewhere?
Without one, that command never terminates - grep will sit there
interpreting the value of {} as a pattern and trying to read from stdin:
$ find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} \; &
$ ps ax | grep grep
1849 pts/48 S+ 0:00 find /etc -type f -exec grep -l {} ;
1850 pts/48 S+ 0:00 grep -l /etc/motd
Been doing that for a while now...
Bryn.
