Hi - i dont know if there's a program to do this all ready - i strongly
suspect there is (if not i might just write one). I want to call a
program recursively in each directory under a particular directory. I
have a little script to do things to every file in a directory. I want
to call it in every directory inside that directory, and every directory
in that and so on, recursively.
I could do it with perl like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Find;
finddepth (\&wanted, $ARGV[0]);
sub wanted {
#call program here, e.g
exec /path/to/my/script
}
but i wonder, is there something similar i can use directly in the shell
for future reference?
thanks!
John
