Slightly off topic but I'd use xargs for this approach e.g. find $ORACLE_HOME -exec ls -ld {} >>exec_list \; takes around 3 minutes on a Linux box I have whereas find $ORACLE_HOME | xargs ls -ld >>xargs_list produces the same results in 2 seconds
Well, you could even try: find ... -ls (without the -exec switch) Or even: ls -lRWith recent shells (zsh, ksh93 and bash4) you could even do it all in shell without external commands like find/ls :)
