>> root@time-> find . -x -print >> find: -x: unknown option >Find's pretty :) syntax differentiates clearly between options and >(minute... must RTFM first...) `primaries'. So better write: > find -x . -print >(where the -print is obsolescent in 4.4BSD, if you are a lazy type >[and i know you are :)]). -xdev is documented as "historical" but still works as a ... `primary'. I think -print is the default in POSIX. It is certainly the default in gnu find too. The man page has obsolescent examples, all with unnecessary -print's. Bruce
