Or, instead of -exec option of 'find',
pipe output to xargs command. Just be sure you handle symbolic links
correctly. (Your SA should understand all of this, in case you don't).
I have been gently reminded that use of 'xargs' in conjunction with
'find' (piped output) is vastly superior to use of the '-exec' option of
'find' alone. This is in line with the core Unix approach of "software
tools", and I agree whole-heartedly. (The problem is one of exec'ing a
new process for every found file using 'find ... -exec ...', versus
exec'ing just one process for a whole bunch of input filenames at once).
