Jared,
Honestly, I didn't searched too far, because I use this find command to clean
the export dumps for some small databases. And as it is executed every week,
the number of files is always 7 so it has virtually no impact on perfs.
But I'll give it a try with xargs, hovewer.
Thanks,

I'm on RHEL3 and I use something like this, which works
/usr/bin/find /u08/bla/bla/*.* -mtime +31 -print -exec /bin/rm {} \;
You know of course, that '-exec CMD {} \:' is evil.
For simple commands that accept a single argument, xargs is superior.
eg. /usr/bin/find /u08/bla/bla/*.* -mtime +31 -print | xargs rm
-exec forks and executes a shell for each file, xargs does not.
Try comparing the execution times of both methods.
