UNIX Find command in Borne Shell

marshaferry · #1 (**permalink**) 04-06-2006

I need to perform two separate commands as part of the -exec section of a find command. Is this possible?

Perderabo · #2 (**permalink**) 04-06-2006

Use two -exec sequences instead.
find . -name x\* -exec ls -ld {} \; -exec cksum {} \;

But this requires that the first command succeed (exit with 0) or the 2nd will not run. This more complex sequence does not require that...
find . -name x\* \( -exec ls -ld {} \; -o -exec cksum {} \; \)
