Is there a way to make this find job run as one process, more efficiently?
Hi, unixers, I'm doing something like
find -type f -name '*.gif' | xargs rm & find -type f -user root | xargs chown idealo & wait #do more stuff on a very large dir. I'm thinking this would be more efficient if it was running as a single process that did one thing for the first condition, another thing for the other condition. I could do this with perl (File::Find), but I'm wondering if there's an elegant solution with bash. thanks for any insight! |

You might be wrong in your thinking.
By creating two sub-proceses you are probably making the overall time of the job shorter. This is because both of those commands will spend time wating on disk i/o's to complete. When one process is waiting for i/o completion the other one can run. |
