Difference between xargs and exec

Hi, I have tried both the options in small dummy scripts, but somehow i can't differentiate between the two. find . -name H* -exec ls -l {} \; find . -name H* | xargs ls -l Both work the ditto way. Any help is appreciated.

MV files with xargs or -exec

Hi I need to move multiple (say 10 files) from one location to another location. My selection would be like this... ls -ltr *.arc | head ---> Need to move top 10 files with single command without iterating in loop. I know we can move files like this with find command but not sure if I can...

String substitution on find results inside exec/xargs

What I'm trying to do is perform a copy, well a ditto actually, on the results of a find command, but some inline string substitution needs to happen. So if I run this code find ./ -name "*.tif" I get back these results. .//1234567.tif .//abcdefg.tif Now the action from exec or xargs I...

Difference in Using xargs

Hi , Can somebody explain what is the difference in the below commands.. when using Xargs its giving all the hidden files and is it something xargs will do recursive searching or parsing ? find . -type f -links 1 | xargs ls -li find . -type f -links 1 | ls -li

Display find results, and pipe to xargs

I have an overnight script which runs across a large directory to repair permissions and ownership. I also have this command output the list of files affected so that cron can email these as a log file. Previously I had the command in the form: find /path/to/files -not -user myname -print -exec...

xargs vs. pipe

I have been using unix on and off for a number of years. I am not a sys admin. I use what I need. I have googled this, but I really can't figure out what is the difference between using xarg and just using a regular pipe? Why do I need to include xarg sometimes and how do I know when I need it?

Hi All, i'm trying to create a tar of all the .txt files i find in my dir . I've used xargs to acheive this but i wanted to do this with exec and looks like it only archives the last file it finds . can some one advice what's wrong here : find . -type f -name "*.txt" -print0 | xargs -0...

Pipe output a command to another using xargs

xargs work great when a command gives multiple line output which can be input to another. In my case it is not working coz the second command uses two words in it. $ scr.sh gives output like 193740 638102 375449 .. .. another command takes these number as inputs. it works great...

create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline(1) 		      General Commands Manual			   create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline(1)

NAME

       create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline - bitmap generator for thin conductor between two infinite groundplanes (part of atlc)

SYNOPSIS

       create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline [-v] W H w bitmapfile

WARNING

       This  man page is not a complete set of documentation - the complexity of the atlc project makes man pages not an ideal way to document it,
       although out of completeness, man pages are produced.  The best documentation that was current at the time the version was produced  should
       be found on your hard drive, usually at
       /usr/local/share/atlc/docs/html-docs/index.html
       although  it might be elsewhere if your system administrator chose to install the package elsewhere. Sometimes, errors are corrected in the
       documentation and placed at http://atlc.sourceforge.net/ before a new release of atlc is released.  Please, if you notice  a  problem  with
       the documentation - even spelling errors and typos, please let me know.

DESCRIPTION

       create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline is a pre-processor for atlc, the finite difference program that is used to calculate the properties of
       a two-conductor electrical transmission line of arbitrary cross section. The program create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline is used as a fast
       way  of generating bitmaps (there is no need to use a graphics program), for a 1 pixel thick conductor of width w, centrally located inside
       a pair of groundplanes of width W and separation H. This has an exact analytical answer, when the inner is infinitely thin and the width  W
       is  infinitely  wide.  This theoretical impedance is also calculated by the create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline. It is therefore used as a
       test of atlc.

       -----------------------------------------------------  ^
       |						   |  |
       |						   |  |
       |	      <----------w----------->		   |  |
       |						   |  H
       |						   |  |
       |						   |  |
       -----------------------------------------------------  v
       <-------------------------W------------------------->

       The parameters 'W' and 'H' and the inner dimensions of the outer conductor.  The outer dimensions of the inner conductor are 'w'  and  'c'.
       The  inner  conductor  is  assumed to rest on a dielectric (Er2) which is 'd' wide and outer conductor an the inner conductor is offset 'b'
       from the left hand sidewall of the outer conductor. The whole region is surrounded by a dielectric  of  relative  permittivity  'Er1'.  The
       dielectrics 'Er1' and then 'Er1' and 'Er2' will both be 1.0

       The  bitmaps  produced  by  create_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline  are  24-bit  bit  colour bitmaps, as are required by atlc. Currently cre-
       ate_bmp_for_symmetrical_stripline only produces bitmaps with white (vacuum) dielectrics.

OPTIONS

       -v
       Print the theoeretical impedance Zo. This only works if the width W is sufficiently wide, otherwise atlc and the value printed  here  would
       disagree wildly.
