  1.  @VeronicaExplains  I also learned this trick for the first time after using xargs for years. I gotta RTFM a bit more. 😁

  2. Very cool. I love the 'find' command. Really useful but I have to admit that I didn't know the '-exec ... +" trick. I'd feed the output to xargs to get the same result but that's not as efficient clearly. I wondered for a moment if the '+' part of exec was a Gnu extension but no, there it is in 'find' on my FreeBSD system. I totally agree about getting to know the stuff that is portable across systems and is part of the reason I don't fill my systems with many of the cool and weird things like 'cd' and 'ls' replacements. I like to learn how to use the basics correctly so I'm not lost on an unfamiliar system. Are you keeping up with the Commodore? (I love your outtro.)
