When using the find command with the -exec option, does the find  
command wait for the command being executed to finish before returning  
the next result?

For example, if I am using find -exec {} to copy files to tape, will  
find wait for the command to write the file to tape complete before it  
returns the next result?

Thanks,



Jay
