UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

I do condone coding practices mentioned and standard compliance.
One should produce shell code to run anywhere (or any code), if able.

But, the OP posted his operating system is fedora linux and didn't not request a posix compliant shell code to be produced.
As for better way, it is welcomed and encouraged to post better code with proper explanation.
Which member stomp offered.

It is also worth to mention the negligible impact on modern multi-core computers any command provided here has, regardless of quality.
Even with alot of files.
