@silverwizard right. Tbh I got this from a horrible web result. I have no idea how the author thought I could deal with this, I think, non-portable *thing* from allegro common lisp
@silverwizard depends on if it’s GNU find or BSD find. The latter doesn’t support \+ in -exec which means that each file match would be a new process
With just a quick test xargs was clever enough to pad out the arguments to max, so with a simple test i was able to get 12k files down to three command invocations
