@darius I’m at 40+ years of not using xargs. I think last month was only the second time where I decided it was worth figuring out (and then forgetting) the options. “find” and that weird “{} \;”, otoh, is embedded in my fingers.

@nazgul good to know that in another 15 years I might at least remember `find` syntax!

@darius I’m pretty much limited to the -exec command -- I just imprinted on it at an early age. That weird -mtime -atime stuff where you can’t actually enter the comparison date, you have to create a file to compare it too.... That command’s showing it’s age.
