Hi,
  Can anyone suggest how to run ctags recursively on Solaris machine.In 
linux we have the switch "ctags -R * "  to scan recursively but none 
such in solaris.How can I recursively scan all the files with ctags ?

TIA

man ctags gives an example:

     Example 2: Building a tags file

     To build a tags file for C sources in a directory  hierarchy
     rooted  at  sourcedir,  first create an empty tags file, and
     then run  find(1)

     example% cd sourcedir  ; rm -f tags ; touch tags
     example% find . \( -name SCCS -prune -name \\
            '*.c' -o -name '*.h' \) -exec ctags -u {} \;

     Notice that spaces must be entered exactly as shown.

If possible, I would suggest downloading and compiling Exuberant Ctags
(http://ctags.sourceforge.net).  That's actually what's used on Linux.  It
is *vastly* superior to the standard UNIX ctags program.  I've compiled it
on many different platforms with no problems at all.

Will it create a tags files by following the links(symlinks) also ?
