Guys,
If I repeat what Bharathi sent long ago please excuse me. I can't help it.
xargs is often used with the find command like this.
$ find /etc | xargs vi
is a simple way to edit all files under /etc recursively including
directories. This is better.
$ find /etc -type f | xargs vi
You can also remove all .svn or CVS files like this.
$ find . -type d -name CVS | rm -rf
or
$ find . -type d -name .svn | rm -rf
I will send UNIX commands. Not just linux ones.
i use xargs most of the times to kill a particular process for e.g. httpd
ps -ef | grep httpd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo kill -9
for find, which has a exec by default. not need to use xargs
You can also remove all .svn files like this.
find . -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
just my 2 paise
